HOPE#3

Blackboard painting and oil pastels on canvas mounted on frame. - 2021

Work from the series gazing at Us:

Education is for alina (lalala), essential and primordial; educate oneself - educate.
HOPE#3 symbolizes this education, on the one hand by its format which recalls blackboards, but also by the technique used; to bring her idea to fruition, alina(lalala) used “blackboard” paint and pastels, which refer to the chalks found in classrooms.

The look at oneself, at the other, at the world, the look of interiority, is a reflection which returns in a different, but recurring way in the works of alina(lalala).

As a general rule, his works are not reduced to a simple coloring of surfaces: his assemblages suggest “the underlying”, a simple reflection of the mysteries of the visible.

This work has found its soul.
