Alex Maceda (b.1989) is a Filipina-American artist and writer living and working between Joshua Tree, California and New York City. Her energetic painting and lyrical writing explore the medial spaces between waking and dreaming, reality and imagination, literal and abstract. She is particularly inspired by the human condition and the feminine experience, as well as esoteric, animistic, mythic, and spiritual themes.

Defined by movement, her abstract practice uses the physicality of freeform mark-making and experiments with the materiality of paint and its transparency (or lack thereof) to articulate layered, multi-faceted compositions. In her abstract figuration, Alex makes manifest compositions she sees in dreams and meditative states onto canvas, and/or depicts archetypal, yet specific, experiences she has in her waking life.

She holds a BA in Classical Studies with a Minor in Studio Art from Dartmouth College and an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business. She is an MFA candidate in Painting at the New York Studio School. Alex is passionate about mental health and a dedicated student of yoga, m
