ABOUT THE ART
Kari-Lise Alexander is an American contemporary artist and painter known for her hauntingly beautiful figurative compositions that explore femininity, nature, mythology and the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds. Her distinctive visual language blends photorealistic portraiture with surreal, dreamlike environments, often incorporating botanical imagery, flowing water and organic forms. Drawing inspiration from folklore, symbolism and the natural world, Alexander creates emotionally evocative works that balance delicate beauty with an underlying sense of mystery, vulnerability and transformation.
"Cathedral" (2017) is a mesmerizing example of Alexander's signature style, depicting a solitary female figure partially submerged within a mysterious, fluid environment. Surrounded by lush floral elements and cascading, translucent forms, the subject appears suspended between reality and an ethereal dreamscape. Rich midnight blues, deep greens and delicate touches of pink and violet create a dramatic contrast against the figure's luminous skin, while the flowing, water-like textures suggest themes of rebirth, introspection and the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. The composition's title evokes a sense of sanctuary and spiritual contemplation, transforming the natural environment into an intimate, almost sacred space.
This beautifully produced 2017 limited-edition giclée print was created on heavyweight 290gsm archival fine art paper in an exceptionally small edition of just 25 examples, with this particular work numbered 23/25. Measuring 18 × 18 inches, the print features Alexander's signature within the image and is additionally hand-signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. Professionally double-matted with acid-free white matting and presented in a custom white hardwood frame with UV-protective plexiglass, the complete 25 × 24-inch framed artwork offers an elegant, ready-to-hang presentation. A compelling collectible for admirers of contemporary figurative art, surrealism, magical realism and nature-inspired imagery, "Cathedral" beautifully captures Alexander's ability to merge technical precision with poetic, otherworldly storytelling.
