Alexandra Maul is a German contemporary mixed media artist currently living and working in Phnom Penh. Her artistic practice is deeply shaped by years of living between cultures across Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Through painting, texture, words, and color, she explores themes of identity, displacement, belonging, urban nature, emotional memory, and transformation.

Her work combines expressive abstraction with fragments of language and symbolic imagery. Inspired by daily life, travel, music, human emotion, and the contrasts between cultures, Alexandra creates paintings that function as emotional landscapes rather than literal representations.

Working primarily with acrylics, spray paint, layered textures, and intuitive mark-making, her paintings often move between rawness and harmony — balancing urban energy with natural elements and deeply personal reflections. Recurring motifs such as palm trees and fish reflect ideas of stability, escape, movement, and adaptation.

At the center of her work lies the idea of existing “between worlds”: between countries, identities, memories, and emotional states. Her paintings invite viewers to connect with their own inner landscapes and experiences of transition.
