Alexandra Briois

My work explores the relationships between movement and color, between intention and spontaneity. Through a pictorial practice centered on the trace, I investigate the moment when gesture becomes imprint, when emotion settles into matter.
Trained in fine arts, interior architecture, and relational psychomotricity, my approach lies at the intersection of body, space, and affect. Creation is conceived as a sensorimotor process, in which gesture responds both to an inner necessity and to an attentive listening to the living.
Working with Ecoline ink on cardboard paper, I explore transparency, light, and the chromatic spectrum. My works unfold as cartographies of inner landscapes, abstraction with references to scientific imaging, within a constant tension between instinct and structure, control and serendipity.
Influenced by the Bauhaus, the Cobra movement, and Arno Stern’s research on “Formulation,” I consider the trace as a semantics of gesture.
