{"title":"Alex Breaux","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlexandra Breaux is a Miami-based artist currently pursuing her MFA in painting at Florida International University. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Art with a minor in Art History from the same institution in 2020. Born in New Orleans in 1998, Alexandra's life took a significant turn when Hurricane Katrina devastated the city in 2005, forcing her family to relocate. Art became a way for her to process these early life experiences, with oil painting offering a medium for reflection and introspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer work often draws on old and current family photographs to explore her deep connection to both her childhood and her New Orleans roots. Through fluid brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette, Alexandra infuses her personal history into each piece, making these elements a defining part of her creative identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"“My practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of memory and identity. Growing up in Miami after being displaced from my hometown of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina was a culture shock for me. This longing for home has never left my side, so I began painting my childhood reminisces, recreating what felt necessary to start my next body of work focusing on Miami landscapes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/1244\/5985\/collections\/Screenshot_2026-10-27_at_14.01.39.png?v=1793109738","url":"https:\/\/www.toxic-arts.com\/en-au\/collections\/alex-breaux.oembed","provider":"Toxic Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
