About Alessandra Posada
Biography
I’m a multidisciplinary, mixed media artist based in Austin, Texas. My artwork’s subject is influenced by my belief in kindness, knowledge, change, decision, planning, understanding, compassion, observation, clarity, experience, and the power of community as the core values of cohabitation and a healthy interaction. There’s an intricate connection between everything that lives on Earth, between every single happening taking place on our world and the spiritual world above and around us. I paint about these interactions and timelines.
My work includes representations of indoor and outdoor spaces that I find interesting and evoking of our psychological constructions. Objects of daily use are reminders of purpose and belonging.
Throughout my art-making process I enjoy creating textured surfaces with different kinds of tools; I like to use diverse mediums including oils, acrylics, molding paste, spray paint, wax pastels, and paper scraps.
To me, the relevance of making art lies in prompting a statement for people to not just decorate our walls and other spaces, (which adds identity, quality, and beauty to our places) but to talk to other people’s soul, facilitate introspection and a sense of wonder. I love that art inspires others to embrace life with better senses and an open heart. I make art and would love to improve in doing so because art is powerful enough to construct a mindset and empower change.
