Alexandra Pikunova - Blaue Noten
Alexandra Pikunova’s work exists on the boundary between experimental photography, design, and abstract sculpture. Rather than depicting reality, she reorganizes it—guided by a desire to control, to bring order, while also embracing fluidity. The sea—its surface, its movement—is cut, deconstructed, and reassembled: the ocean becomes a grid. Cyanotype, with its technical history and archetypal blue, is combined with geometric inserts, reliefs, and layering that suggest a third dimension. Her compositions are a convergence of instinct and logic, where rationality and emotion coexist. These abstract spaces hold and frame the raw energy of matter.

Project
Das Wasser was born during a moment of personal and creative crisis, when the artist felt the need to move away from architectural themes and reconnect with something fluid, natural, and uncontrollable. The sea becomes both subject and symbol of this shift. Images of waves and foam, rendered in cyanotype, are cut, fragmented, altered, and then reassembled into rhythmic structures punctuated by geometric elements. The result is sculptural and layered, transforming the flat image into a dynamic visual space. Das Wasser explores the tension between the visual power of nature and the human need to impose meaning and order, translating it into pure visual form.
Artist statement
I love order and geometry in everything: angles should be right, and lines described by equations. But I also love looking at the sea, which obeys only the tides. On paper, I try to combine the incompatible: natural chaos and the human urge to impose rules and order. This tension is difficult to resolve in a flat surface, so my works reach for dimensionality. The fusion of the sea’s chaos and geometric structure gives me a sense of calm—during both the creative process and in observing the final piece. My works are my therapy.
