Alexandra Cool is a sculptor and photographer.
She has been working for several years in Carrara (Italy), New York and Corsica. Nowadays, her home base is in Ossogne -Thuin (Belgium) and the Auvergne (France).
Alexandra has an intimate rapport with nature. Her respect for natural materials and their inherent beauty is a great source of inspiration. She attempts to reveal what is invisible and silent.
She likes to explore the relationship between nature and people. Sometimes her work is clearly socially engaged.
