ALEKSANDRA CEGIELSKA

ABOUT

Aleksandra, born in 1985 in the small town of Pabianice, Poland, embarked on a journey of discovery by studying International Affairs but quickly realized her passion lay elsewhere. Her life became an affair with the world as she traveled throughout Europe, America, and Asia, eventually settling in Basel, Switzerland.

Aleksandra's travels helped her develop a keen observation of life and a love for different cultures, society standards, and gender equality, which she brings to her paintings. She craves new ways to express these beliefs and has learned to conceptualize and realize non-conforming silhouettes, shapes, and colors. Aleksandra's art explores the human connection and the body and mind, showcasing a fluid concept whereby the two intrinsically connect, with bold colors taking center stage.

​

The importance of lived experiences in artistic expression is highlighted in her work, as she immerses herself in her surroundings and embraces her own experiences to inspire her creativity. Through observation and experience, Aleksandra gains a deeper understanding of the world and the people within it, which she translates into works of art that inspire and motivate others. Her work invites viewers to engage in an open conversation surrounding topics of the body, sex, and social stereotypes. She utilizes a variety of techniques, including drawing, sculpting, photography, and textile.

​

By embracing her own experiences and drawing inspiration from the world around her, Aleksandra creates works of art that resonate deeply with audiences, leaving a lasting impact on the art world.
