Alexandra Cicorschi, born in Bucharest, Romania, is currently based in San Francisco, California. She creates abstract wall-hanging sculptures that explore themes of migration, environmental change, consumerism, and humanity’s growing disconnect from nature and cultural heritage. By utilizing repurposed wood from discarded household objects and construction materials, Alexandra is able to better connect to the world around her. Her meticulous focus on craft serves as a commentary on society’s increasing impatience and the diminishing value of objects due to mass-consumption. After growing up in Romania during the last years of its communist regime, Alexandra learned at an early age how limited resources can fuel creative reuse. In transforming old materials into something new, she reflects on the rapid shifts she's observed in her lifetime—a shift from a mindset shaped by scarcity to one defined by abundance.
She earned her MFA from Bauhaus University in Germany after studying at the National University of Arts in Bucharest. Her work has been exhibited in galleries worldwide, including TINT Gallery in San Francisco, PRPGMX in Mexico City, the Romanian Cultural Institute in Berlin, and Eigenheim Galerie in Weimar. Alexandra's work is a part of the permanent collection at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, California. She is also a member of the Romanian Art Collective SF.
