Alexandra Klimas – Contemporary art with deeper meaning

Alexandra Klimas is a contemporary artist internationally appreciated for her realistic and almost lifelike paintings. With refined precision, she brings animals (such as farm animals, birds or even a goldfish) to life in oil paint. Each animal she paints carries a story with it. Her work combines hyper-realistic details with looser elaborated elements, creating a powerful and vivid whole that reveals the soul of each animal.

Farm animals: an intimate look
Alexandra focuses on often forgotten farm animals, but other animals, such as a goldfish, also get her attention. While pets are cherished, animals from the livestock industry or other “overlooked” animals often remain invisible. By capturing these animals, she wants to explore our relationship with them and highlight their value. She visits farmers where animal welfare is paramount and captures the animals’ unique characters on canvas. “I’m not an activist,” she says, ”but my art should evoke emotions and make people think.”

Birds: beauty and vulnerability
In her bird paintings, Alexandra captures the entire bird, often in still lifes. In doing so, she emphasizes both their beauty and their vulnerability, especially with the threats of urbanization and loss of greenery. Her paintings are an ode to nature and a call to protect biodiversity.

Every painting tells a story
Whether she paints a cow, a chicken, a goldfish or a bird, every piece of Alexandra’s art has a story. The story of forgotten animals, animal welfare concerns, or the fragile balance of nature. Her paintings go beyond the visual and invite reflection and connection.

Alexandra Klimas is represented by galleries in London and New York and has won several international awards. Her work has been shown in museums in the United States, Andorra and the Netherlands, among others.
