About

In both her music and photography, Roxanna Walitzki explores beauty inherent in the richer, deeper, darker parts of the human experience. Her work holds the ability to capture both simplicity & complexity in a moment.

Trained as an operatic mezzo-soprano, Roxanna integrates elements from electronic and ambient music into her arrangements of art-songs, producing a delicate world of sound that matches her uniquely ethereal aesthetic. Roxanna's work keeps classical music alive and current, while addressing the impact humans are having on our natural ecosystems. Her musical dedication, eye for beauty, and unique aesthetic infuses her work with vibrancy and individuality.

An "operatic iconoclast," Roxanna employs the expressive capabilities of video as a vehicle to further the reach of classical music.  With degrees in vocal performance from NYU (M.M.) and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (B.M.), her endeavors stretch the bounds of traditional performance-practice and have been heralded as “spellbinding.”

Roxanna's photography is rooted in a love of editorial fashion imagery and figurative art.  Making use of minimal settings and imaginative styling that re-imagines disposable materials, Walitzki’s photography conveys mood and emotion through movement, form, texture, and subtle lighting choices.  Honing her skills in fine art self-portraiture, Roxanna’s imagery dances between genres and is at once intimate & inviting, as well as distant & guarded.

Based in Seattle from 2012-2018, Roxanna has performed at myriad art events and openings, including Out of Sight, Roq La Rue Gallery, Axis Pioneer Square, the new Nordic Museum, and the SAM Sculpture Garden. Roxanna’s multidisciplinary work took her on a long tour throughout Europe in 2019, where she gave performances in Berlin at the Urban Nation Museum, in Finland, Croatia, and the Czech Republic, and participated in art residencies including the AARK Archipelago Art Residency in Korppo, Finland, and a Glass Art Box experiment in Porto, Portugal.
