Alexandra Breda is a multidisciplinary artist and designer, whose work focuses on contemporary figurative sculpture.<\/p>

Finds inspiration in art, fashion, nature, mixing and fusing these areas. Researcher of color and its endless possibilities.<\/p>

Each<\/b> sculpture<\/b> is the outcome of a creative, technical, experimental and handmade work where manual craftsmanship merges with the artistic vision.<\/strong><\/p>

With a background in Fashion Design and Product Design, brings to figurative sculpture a contemporary vision based on an extensive color and fashion trends research translated into inspirational moodboards and design projects developed for many years.\u00a0<\/p>

It was during the Specialization Course in Ceramics and Glass at Cearte, that she fell in love with sculpture in clay.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
