The main theme of her work is the relationship between different spaces and perspectives.
An abstract interpretation of nature, geometry, architecture, interiors and combinations thereof are signature styles in her work. The research of perspective is the main priority, more so than the expression of her refined painting skill.
In her series, “Nature Strikes back”, these themes are especially apparent. The series displays the dynamic interaction between nature and mankind with a critical environmental message. Throughout her work, Alexandra incorporates subtle storytelling using hidden personal elements.
In recent work, a delicate balance between paint and fabric is realized. The process requires careful planning and consideration. Therefore, the painting blueprint is digitally composed before any paint touches the canvas. This highlights the non-intuitive way of her painting process.

Malerische Collagen mit neuen Perspektiven
Die Malereien von Alexandra Verkerk erscheinen wie rätselhafte Landschaften, die es nach und nach zu erschließen gilt. Dazu muss man sich auf ein neues Verständnis von Raum und Perspektive einlassen, wird dafür aber auch reich belohnt mit der Entdeckung einer neuen, visuellen Sprache von schönster Harmonie.
