Alexandra Klimas expresses her creativity as a visual artist and invites art lovers to join her on her artistic journey. She expresses her deep gratitude to the collectors who cherish her work: “Thanks to them, I can continue to grow, discover, and – perhaps most importantly – keep painting.”
Her love for animals and drawing blossomed at a young age. A visit to the Rijksmuseum, where the works of Rembrandt – master of light and shadow – deeply moved her, ignited her fascination with traditional painting techniques. Since academies at that time paid little attention to these classical methods, Alexandra decided to forge her own path. As a self-taught artist, she developed her own voice and unique style.n her blog Klimas over Klimas, written in 2008, she shares how her love for animals began and why they have become the core of her work.
Though her work is often classified as hyperrealism, Alexandra refuses to be confined to that label. While she strives to make the animals she paints feel so lifelike that viewers experience an almost tangible connection, her paintings are guided by the freedom of choice – sometimes using fine brushstrokes, sometimes bolder ones. Her goal isn’t simply the perfection of hyperrealism; it’s about creating a painting that builds an emotional bond with the viewer. As Klimas herself says, “That can only happen when I paint fully from the heart, and a single brushstroke can be as powerful as many. I make that choice anew every day.
