"energetic abstracts that bring a sense of peace to your space"
Alex Maceda (b.1989) is a Filipina-American artist and writer living in Joshua Tree, CA. Her energetic abstract work and lyrical writing explores the medial spaces between waking and dreaming, reality and imagination, literal and abstract. Defined by movement, her abstract practice utilizes the physicality of freeform mark-making and experiments with the materiality of paint and it’s transparency (or lack thereof) to articulate layered, multi-faceted compositions. In her abstract figuration, Alex makes manifest compositions she seems in dreams and meditative states onto canvas.
Alex’s paintings have appeared in shows across the US including LA, Portland, Joshua Tree and Miami and in commercial and residential projects across the US. Alex has a background in brand, marketing and design. She holds a BA in Classical Studies and Studio Art from Dartmouth College.
