To mark International Women's Day,the exhibition "From Darkness to Light: Inspire Inclusion" isa loud, almost provocative artistic outcry by Alexandra Kordas against violence against women and children and the cruel consequences, expressing her abhorrence of sexual violence or violence of any kind.

But the works are also a creative journey from sorrow to joy: with her own artistic perspective and form of expression, Alexandra Kordas visualizes violence, rape, exclusion, pain, but also the light on the horizon, joy and more. The artist wants to draw attention to grievances, especially for many women, shake people awake and bring hidden things into the light. In the dichotomy of poles, pain meets joy, death meets life and sensuality meets transience in her works.

In doing so, Kordas takes up the baroque vanitas motif - between the lust for life and the certainty of death. The symbol of the cross runs like a signature through her contemporary, sometimes provocative works. The expressive works play with light and color, they literally bubble over: They glow in the light, bathe in vibrant colors or step into the dark in a variety of "shades of grey" or sometimes blur completely.

The inspiration for her artworks mainly comes directly from the depths of her soul, which is inspired by her own experiences, but also by current spiritual, intellectual, social and political influences in our world.
