Alexandra Nelipa, a native of Crimea, has lived in San Antonio for the past six years. In those few years, she has managed to establish herself as one of the leading creative artists much respected by the artistic community. She has also captured the admiration of many art collectors in Bexar County.
She’s an outgoing, fun-loving individual who delights in sharing her experiences and stories with others and in the process has made many friends throughout the city, many of whom cherish her free spirit, constant smile and admirable attitude towards others.
She has been invited to exhibit her work at several local galleries, among them Bihl House, HighWireArts, Centro Cultural Aztlán, Mercury Project.
Alexandra enjoys working with a variety of median oils, acrylics, water colors, mixed media, ceramics and photography. Her subject matter focuses on figurative art from a variety of perspectives. Her artistic inspirations lay in the old Masters. As a child, her mother took her to museums such as the Hermitage and other equally prestigious museums. Later, Alexandra traveled on her own throughout Europe and visited museums wherever she went. Those experiences were the seeds that fomented her creative interest in the arts.
Her artistic philosophy is one where the artist as the creative inspiration provides the viewer with a work of art that requires of the viewer to become a co-creator in the process of understanding the meaning of the artwork. The work of art can only arrive at its completeness when an audience is present and views the work. In short, the interpretation of the work of art is left up to the viewer.
