Artist Statement

Alex Maceda (b.1989) is a Filipina-American artist and writer living and working between Joshua Tree, California and New York City. Her energetic painting and lyrical writing explore the medial spaces between waking and dreaming, reality and imagination, literal and abstract. She is particularly inspired by the human condition and the feminine experience, as well as esoteric, shamanic, and spiritual themes. In her abstract figuration, Alex makes manifest compositions she sees in dreams and meditative states onto canvas, and/or depicts archetypal, yet specific, experiences she has in her waking life. The velvety-texture of her layered compositions are the result of her explorations in the materiality of paint, use of solvents, and surface preparation.
