Alexandra Hochreiter is a Romanian-born visual artist and illustrator with a background in architecture and resides near Vienna with her husband and their cat, Strudel.
Embracing interdisciplinary design and visual storytelling, she infuses a bit of magic into every illustration that she creates, looking at her subjects through a special lens, that allows fantasy to overcome reality. Whether working with traditional or digital mediums, she is wholly absorbed in the intricacies of mixed media techniques, seeking to craft rich textures that mirror the complexities her subjects. As she delves into the artistic process, she navigates the delicate balance on the thin line she refers to as "controlled accidents," exploring the unexpected and embracing the beauty found in the spontaneous moments of creation.
Over time she surrendered to the tiny voices within and conjures people to allow extraordinary into their ordinary lives.
