Alexa Meade (born 1986 in Washington, D. C.) is an American artist known for her illusionistic paintings. She uses the Trompe-l'œil, which creates a three-dimensionality from the two-dimensional representation. With the peculiarity that she tries to reverse her predominantly lively motifs and consequential plastic effects to their opposite. Her goal is to make three-dimensional thins appear two-dimensional. [1] The results are moving, interactive paintings that irritate the eye when processing the spatial effect. [2 Childhood, youth and education. Alexa Meade was born in 1986 in Washington, D. C.
