About Alexandria Attfield

 
 
  • Biography
    About:

    My names is Alexandria Attfield, I am a London based Oil Painter with over ten years experience.

    I have a particular fascination with nature, depth and the application of vivid colour to form abstract but life-like organic environments. To me nature spans beyond the planetary confines of Earth and so my work can sometimes take on elements of other planets.

    ​In my Art I create a sense of familiarity with which the viewer can find their own meaning, thus making them an ongoing part of the creative process long after the painting is finished. The power of suggestion is something I rely heavily on within my themes, I use my work to invoke a deeper subconscious attraction to nature through environments of organic-like structures that captivate the mind" Less

    ​I studied Art to A-Level earlier on in life, but decided instead of learning the techniques of others I wanted to develop my own, and therefore did not graduate in Art but instead in Psychology. I have found studying the human condition in an academic environment has given my work far greater depth than further Art education ever could.

    ​Biography:

    Alexandria studied Art to A-Level but decided against learning the techniques of others in Art School and develop her own signature style. Therefore, she did not graduate in Art but Psychology, finding that the study of the human condition contributes much to the central themes within her Art.​She has since had collectors buy her work worldwide and has been featured alongside Michelangelo as part of the 'Identities' exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum London. Wanting to do more than merely produce interesting pictures, Alexandria utilises multiple layers within her work to create a rich dynamic of structure and tone. It is common for viewers to report seeing many different images within one of her paintings. Invoking the subconscious, she draws the viewer in, leaving them with a different thought about her work with every viewing.
