Alexandria Robinson is an Afro-Caribbean Fine Artist from Nassau, Bahamas.
She received her BFA at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA, and received her MFA at Goldsmiths College of Art in London, UK.
Her work involves painting, metal sculpture, and forms of collage, creating images that question different materialities in their actual form, but ultimately aim to create a sort of harmony all together.
She has consistently explored the figure's relationship to the outer world, often addressing questions of identity and diasporic experiences. Drawing from her African American and Afro-Caribbean heritage, she's delved into the complexities of identity and the spaces we inhabit.
In recent years, her focus has shifted towards the figure's relationship to broken landscapes within the context of the black Anthropocene and natural disasters. However, her work now factors in the figure's connection to the true spiritual self, transcending socially constructed and perceived identities. It is an exploration of the essence that exists beyond the confines of specific labels, delving into the universal human experience.
When engaging with her artwork, she hopes that viewers embark on their own journey of self-discovery. She aspires to inspire them to find solace, inspiration, and a renewed sense of wonder in the extraordinary world we inhabit. It is her belief that art has the ability to transcend boundaries, create meaningful dialogues, and foster a greater sense of unity and compassion among humanity.
Apart from being a practicing visual artist, she is driven by the desire to foster meaningful connections and cultivate a shared human experience through art. She sees art as a powerful catalyst for reconnecting with the world around us, prompting introspection, empathy, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.
