About Alexa Maithé


Alexa Maithé is a multidisciplinary artist and designer from Honduras whose work explores transformation through visual art, sound, and symbolic language. Since the age of seventeen, she has developed a practice shaped by philosophy, music, and a deep curiosity about mythologies, ancestral knowledge, and the unseen dimensions of human experience. Her work emerges from an intuitive and contemplative approach to creation, seeking to reconnect with nature, memory, and inner awareness.

Her practice moves fluidly across painting, drawing, sculpture, assemblage, digital media, spatial design, DJing, and experimental sound. Rather than working within a single medium, Maithé approaches creativity as an evolving language where disciplines intersect and inform one another. This expanded approach allows her to create works and experiences that operate simultaneously on visual, emotional, and symbolic levels.

Trained in interior and product design in Florence, Italy, she brings a strong sensitivity to space, proportion, and materiality into her artistic work. For Maithé, art and design function as tools for creating immersive and meaningful experiences rather than purely decorative objects. Her process is guided by observation, intuition, and symbolism, allowing ideas to unfold organically and remain open to transformation.

Material transformation is central to her practice. Many of her works incorporate repurposed and found materials, integrating discarded or overlooked objects into mixed-media assemblages and paintings. Through this process, she reimagines the value of forgotten materials, restoring presence, narrative, and new life to what once appeared insignificant. This approach reflects both ecological awareness and a philosophical interest in cycles of transformation.

Having lived and created across Honduras, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Guatemala, and Alaska, her work maintains an ongoing dialogue between cultures, landscapes, and symbolic traditions. These experiences inform a perspective that is both globally influenced and rooted in a search for belonging, identity, and connection.

Music and sound are also central to her artistic path. She began DJing in 2011 within underground creative scenes in Honduras and later performed in artistic festivals and cultural spaces in Italy. Today she continues exploring sound through curated DJ sets, experimental collaborations, and original compositions. In 2025, she completed her first long-form sonic work — a 34-minute composition exploring the cycles of birth, life, death, and return.

Across disciplines, Maithé’s work seeks to inspire boldness, emotional depth, and authentic living, while integrating ancestral wisdom and contemporary perspectives. Through her practice, she invites others to reconnect with nature, imagination, and conscious living, offering an alternative to fast-paced, consumption-driven culture.
