About Alexandra

Alexandra Moya is a Texas-based Hispanic artist and a current BFA candidate in Painting and Ceramics at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Her art is a deep dive into dark surrealism, often exploring the unsettling intersection of religious iconography and the subconscious.

Moya's primary medium is acrylic paint, which she manipulates to create disquieting imagery. Her paintings feature distorted figures and symbolic motifs that blend sacred religious themes with a sense of dread and unease, challenging traditional interpretations of faith and spirituality. She frequently experiments with different textures and forms, pushing the boundaries of the medium to enhance the surreal and otherworldly quality of her work.

Beyond painting, Moya is also a ceramic artist. She uses pottery as a canvas to explore form and function, often employing various glazing techniques to create unique and captivating finishes. Her ceramic pieces echo the themes found in her paintings, with works that are both beautiful and unsettling, inviting viewers to ponder the darker aspects of belief and existence. Through her masterful command of both painting and ceramics, Moya creates a powerful body of work that is both visually striking and emotionally profound.
