Alexia is a surreal contemporary artist, who lives in tranquility with two cats and 25 plants. Her artwork is tied together by her sense of humor and obsession with science fiction and fantasy. Her work weaves together a unique blend of elements from traditional portraiture, surrealism, and fantasy. With each painting, Alexia creates a unique tapestry, blending vivid color and detail to evoke a dream-like world that is both beautiful and mysterious. Her work conjures unusual imagery and creates interesting narrative that produces both grin and grimace. When sketching and brainstorming she lies on her velvet blue couches, and consults her skeleton roommate.

Alexia Markopoulos attended San Francisco State University, graduating with a Creative Writing degree with a minor in Art History. Her character artwork was featured on Comedy Central’s “Broad City”. Her writing style tends to lean more on the comedic side, because she thinks she’s hilarious. Alexia wrote a science fiction dark comedy novel “Bad Moon Rising” and is pursuing publication. She has published three short stories, one of which is a horror/comedy published in the Halloween edition of Blood Moon Rising Magazine (coincidence in names or fate?).

Alexia is currently working as a commissioned artist, storyboard artist and writer. Her character illustration work is available for purchase on Etsy @studiodelex.
