Alessandra Meskita is a Brazilian contemporary artist who creates bespoke kinetic art. She was born in Brazil to a family of artists. At fifteen, she began painting, weaving, and working with textiles. She started the fashion line MESKITA in New York, placing collections in luxury department stores worldwide. That background in fabric, texture, and structured movement stayed with her.
In 2016, tired of looking at the blank walls of her Miami home, she dove into her design supplies and wrapped a canvas in yarn and cords. The piece appeared red or blue depending on how you viewed it. When a friend asked to buy it, a new career was born.
Meskita has exhibited her works at Art Basel Miami, the Armory Show NY and recently she held a solo exhibition at The Vault during Art Basel Miami 2024. Her works are part of many private collections worldwide. Today she resides between Palm Beach and Miami.
