Alexandra Mitsiou is a food creative + stylist experimenting with food as a medium of expression, nourishment, and mindfulness.
Trained as a biologist, she extended her studies to the science of cooking and got traineeship in various professional kitchens in the Netherlands.
Combining a scientific and a heart felt approach to food, she is interested in the interactions of our physical and emotional body with the resource.
Her attention is drawn by food textures, forms + colour palettes with the aim to demonstrate the essence of food and its relation to our senses, emotions and psyche.
She invites you to pause and listen, touch and feel, taste, take in the scent and observe the changes of what we see and what is happening within us.
I am using food as a creative medium + a visual language to express feelings, emotions + moods.
I am creating my own reality + lifestyle settings around food; the most valuable resource and the vital resource we are utilizing every day. Food can be nourishing, food can be healing, food can bring us together and create trust and bonding. It shapes our body, our soul, our moods, our culture and society.
I am inspired by the textures of the organic matter we consume and the emotions, moods and feelings they evoke to our psyche.
I am guided by the seasons and the position of the sun - the light - the seasonal light that is changing and swifting with the seasons and guides the moods within us.
