Alexandra Pignon is a French‑American interdisciplinary artist whose practice connects painting, photography, and sound creation.  
Before turning to art, she worked in engineering — a world of structure and precision that deeply shaped her approach to space, light, and matter.

She lives and works in Normandy, cultivating a deliberately slow relationship to the world. Her work unfolds in solitude, attention, and a time that belongs only to her. This distance allows her to create works that do not seek to comment on reality, but to open spaces of perception and breathing.

Her painting relies on glycerophthalic lacquers she prepares by hand and applies in successive layers, producing deep surfaces crossed by transparencies and internal tensions.

In photography, she uses a digital pinhole device she designed, generating porous images that she later reworks as surfaces to inhabit.

Her sound practice combines analog synthesizers from the 1980s with contemporary digital tools, in an ambient writing where sound becomes matter.

These three mediums converse around a single inquiry: exploring light, matter, and time. Her work favors clarity, precision, and a demanding simplicity.

She does not tell stories: she constructs spaces.

Spaces one can enter, remain in, breathe.
