Alex is a London based Abstract minimalist painter. While her work has varied throughout her career she combines subtle but expressive movements of line over tonally refined backgrounds. 'Her paintings are never simply about appearances. Closer inspection reveals them to be emotional equivalents: precise yet mysterious analogues of a world of feeling, communicated in Calinescu's distinctive and evolving language of hooked and overlapping lines against monochrome backgrounds. Her new work is tonally simpler and purer in its repertoire of marks and more complex in its interrelation of parts than anything that preceded it” Nigel Warburton – 2005
