Alexandra Pignon
I choose to explore and express my ambiguous personality through mixed techniques, based on two mediums, photography and painting. The overall approach of this investigation reflects my ambivalence.

Refusing any standardization, I came to take photos both with and without lens (see Free_Lens Project Collection).
Photographs taken with a lens are used to place a part of my abstract imagery in a figurative context.
I create an original digital work by layering photos of my paintings over these straight photographic shots, using image editing software.
This digital mix, which I call “Hybrid”, explores themes such as the appearance and perception of identity in a social environment.
It became my way of challenging the viewer, addressing worries I may have and expressing myself freely.
