Alexandra Mavrofridi is an artist from Euboea Island, Greece. She has studied Plastic Arts & Sciences of Arts at the University of Ioannina and afterwards she completed her BA in Photography & Audiovisual Arts at the University of West Attica, Athens. She permanently resides in Paris while pursuing her MA in Photography at Spéos. Her main purpose is to create myths and symbols with the aim of producing active art that brings different worlds into contact with one another. Her aesthetic is based on a tragicomical reality, that is not visible to the human eye. Guided by intuition, the biggest challenge is an effort to produce a protean and escalated body of work that portrays a veritable universe, which lies around the subconscious. While still pursuing photography and video art, the desire lays on giving more emphasis to drawing, painting, handicraft, design, music, writing, erasing the boundaries in the way we use these media, focusing entirely on the direction to set the underlying theme. This world is defined by a list of opposites, it is simultaneously tragic and comic, divine and morbid, innocent and momentous. It is populated by creatures wearing masks and costumes, hybrids of humans, antipodes, industrial machines and abstract shadows. For her, art is a way of living inside this theatre of the absurd which is called life. With her work, she intends to express the unspeakable and to challenge the viewer on a subconscious level. She has participated at the 16th Athens Digital Arts Festival in Greece and on 2021 she participated at an international art exhibition: Tides of The Century at the Ocean Flower Island Museum in China. On 2022 and 2023 she was awarded as a FRESH EYES Photo Talent in Amsterdam.
