Aleksandra de Pan

Aleksandra de Pan is a painter of Russian origin – born in Moscow in 1984 – who now lives in Florence, where she recognizes in the Renaissance heritage a sense of profound affinity with her own artistic feeling and action. Instinctive, intuitive and gestural, Aleksandra's creative streak is included in a mature style where elements of surrealism and expressionism of Central European culture converge. The result is a personal and dynamic painting, classic and conceptual at the same time, like a flow of images and feelings that flows from an intimate penetration of reality.

A fascinating microcosm, seductive, with strong and at the same time gentle colours, with subjects wrapped in a dreamlike atmosphere, reminiscent of the soft colors of the Russian expressionist painter Marc Chagall and the magical realism theorized by the German art critic Franz Roh.
