More About Arianna Alexis

Arianna Alexis is a visual artist and filmmaker known for her multidisciplinary and performative work that exhibits and reflects the duality of the body as a model and mechanical being. Encouraging the alienation of self, her work hones to body image, idealization, self discipline and representation of labor within fashion. She received her MFA, at Parsons Paris where she resided for 5 years. Relocating to Marfa, TX she continues her artistic practice, where she has founded Marfa Models & galerie ego

What does it mean to Arianna to feel alive? Being in tune with your true self and being honest with yourself which effects the path and purpose of living in alignment of authenticity, which to me equals to being most alive!
