Layered compositions on time, memory, and transformation — moving between abstraction and figuration.
Aleksandra Cvijanović is a contemporary mixed-media artist currently based in Dubai. She has taken part in numerous humanitarian, cultural, and artistic projects — both as an artist and as a coordinator of drawing, painting, and other creative workshops.
Her practice explores themes of time, memory, and transformation through painting, collage, and mixed-media technique, moving between abstraction and figurative elements to invite viewers to reconsider their relationship with time and the traces we leave behind.
"Through visual narratives that move between abstraction and figurative elements, her work invites viewers to pause and reconsider their relationship with time and the traces we leave behind."
From sacred relic to symbol of neglect. Since ancient times the mask has served as a conduit between the material and the spiritual — from African tribal ceremony to classical Greek theatre. The COVID-19 pandemic gave it a modern, darker counterpart: millions of discarded masks now linger in streets, parks, rivers, and oceans.
Through scenes of abandoned, discarded masks enhanced with acrylic detail, this series asks us to reconsider every object we use and throw away, and the impact we leave on the world around us.
"Man is nobody and nothing, a traveler on earth, a passerby in this passing time, a shadow in the sun." — Ivo Andrić
Old photographs and the silhouettes of familiar cities transform through the artist's intervention into clocks — symbols of measurement and transience.
Conceived as twelve individual narratives, each month of this cycle tells its own story — a large composite canvas built day by day, alongside one featured daily painting singled out from the month.
A curated selection of works drawn from across the artist's journey — fragments from different periods of exploration, transition, experimentation, and reflection, including pieces from her travels through Montenegro and Morocco.
For commissions, exhibitions, gallery representation, or to purchase a piece, reach out directly — Aleksandra would love to hear from you.
