Alejandra Seeber's complex and multilayered work focuses on the reinterpretation of everyday subjects through spontaneous painterly gestures. Oftentimes, these gestures overlap repetitively causing figurative elements to unexpectedly emerge from abstract-expressionist images. She employs layered complications that distort the senses and invoke a contemplative experience. While Seeber’s work is purely abstract, the organic free flowing patterns and symbols are redolent of landscapes. The initial sense of light heartedness, thus conveyed by her pictures gives way to a more conceptual framework that is indicative of the human condition.
