About

Ali Georgescu is a lens-based artist living and working in Chicago. After completing her bachelor's degree in studio art in 2019, she enrolled at Columbia College Chicago where she recently received a master’s degree in photography.  

Ali utilizes a mixed-media approach to her projects, combining sculpture, video, photography, and sound to create immersive photographs and installation-oriented video pieces. Her work demonstrates a quest to create an experiential sensory language for internal psychological worlds. Influenced by the surrealists of the early 20th century, Ali creates artwork by engaging with and exploring the idea of the unconscious self through an intuitive art practice.
