The presented works are surreal drawings and soft sculptures oscillating around the subject of gender. The repetitive colored lips and colored vaginas encourage tolerance and the right to self-determination.

Alexandra's Holownia gender drawings and sculptures

A series of works composed of drawings and soft sculptures presents improvisations of genitals subject. Colorful vagina-like elements or lips turn into delicate plants and gardens. Provocative, fanciful works call for a dialogue on tolerance and the right to self-determination.

Surreal gender fantasies

Alexandra´s Holownia works touches on the determination of those women seeking release from the traditional sexual roles and existing ideas of beauty. It calls into question gender discrimination imposed by the state. 
In my art I deal with topics related to gender. I am investigating the social problems associated with genitalia taboo. The divide between male and female regarding traditional gender roles results in strengthened regime practices both in private and public patriarchy.
Men control the behavior and function of women within the family unit as well as peripherals such as fashion, make up, professions etc. In my performances that refer to taboos in popular culture, sociopolitical intolerance, acceptance of human rights and the freedom of sexual self-determination.
