ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Encounter in an Alien World" is a journey through the myriad possibilities of existence beyond our own realm. As part of the "Strange Worlds" series, it takes its place amongst a collection that delves deep into the concept of alternate realities and dimensions, challenging viewers to stretch their imaginations and question their beliefs about the universe. The overarching theme of the series, as its name suggests, is the exploration of peculiar and unfamiliar terrains. This particular piece encapsulates the wonder of venturing into an unknown land, where meeting a new life form, as the title suggests, is a significant event—a crossroads of curiosity, awe, and perhaps a tinge of fear. What's especially compelling is the artwork's ability to present something foreign yet oddly familiar. The recognizable figures, while suggesting the possibility of alien life, intriguingly seem to be abstracted versions of the human form. This duality speaks to a profound idea: the universality of life. It implies that while the conditions, appearances, and behaviors might vary, there's an inherent connection among all living beings, no matter which dimension or world they hail from. Artistically, the vibrant colors of "Encounter in an Alien World" are juxtaposed with fluid shapes, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. It's as if the scene is in a constant state of flux, evolving right before our eyes. This fluidity captures the ever-changing nature of our understanding of the universe—a poignant reminder that as much as we learn, there's always something new waiting to be discovered. "Encounter in an Alien World," engages the viewers in a philosophical and emotional journey, prompting introspection about our place in the cosmos and our relationship with the unknown. Through abstracted forms and sci-fi references, the series crafts a narrative of wonder, exploration, and connection

Luna Ljus
Germany
No orders possible between 12.12.2024 and 15.01.2025. Luna Ljus, a multidisciplinary artist originating from Brazil, presents a diverse portfolio centered around the motif of metamorphosis. Her creations resonate with profound shifts—be they physical, emotional, or historical. Drawing from a rich tapestry of inspirations, including mythology, sci-fi, and the annals of art history. Ljus's invites audiences to a realm where the present moment is momentarily set aside, allowing for a cathartic journey through emotion, only to circle back with a rejuvenated perspective. Employing a blend of the abstract and the literal, she reimagines literary, fictional, and historical themes, often through a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues. At the heart of her repertoire is the notion of transformation. Each piece, echoing life's cyclical dance of birth, decay, and rebirth, beckons onlookers to ponder the depths of change. Her visual lexicon unfolds with a mix of geometric musings and organic shapes, painting dreams and hinting at alternate dimensions. There's a deliberate interplay of color and form—a testament to her infatuation with their symbiotic relationship. Ljus's canvases pulsate with energy, largely credited to her choice of spirited, juxtaposed colors. The echoes of Fauvism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism, particularly the traces of Orphism and color field techniques, are undeniable in her work. Moreover, the recurring patterns and symbols in her pieces are deliberate nods to mythology, science fiction, and the annals of art history. Ljus's meticulous method involves a profound exploration of narrative through the prism of elementary forms and vivid colors, often blurring the lines between the abstract and the definitive. Her penchant for the tactile essence of paper and water-soluble pigments pushes her to constantly experiment with varied mediums, crafting semi-abstract artworks. Each creation undergoes an intriguing evolution. Beginning with a detailed watercolor foundation, the piece is subject to alterations in color fields and strokes over days or even weeks, reflecting the evolving thoughts and sentiments that sparked its inception. This fluid process sometimes yields unforeseen motifs, adding serendipitous layers to her work. Ljus's oeuvre is thoughtfully segmented into series: "Renewals" delves into the nuances of change. "Strange Worlds" is a poetic contemplation of alternate realities and entities.
