PARADISE Print

Alice's work carries a feminine element at first glance. However, the team is not the only one in an outward mood - melancholy, spleen, or, conversely, joyful enthusiasm. It is something like an inner female essence, which is sometimes rude, unartificial, she wants to do something from the inside that lacks arrangement. That is why in your paintings, the beauty of women's jewelry lies in fragments of stones and glittering metal colors. It is not even a question of whether it is a stone, visually appealing, colored and shiny, or a fragment of a stone, whether we should hardly introduce, here and there ground into gravel or all the sand, to tell the passage of time. All the forms and stages of the stone form the essence of a mysterious treasure, which was found and appreciated only by the initiate. However, it is not just a world of inanimate nature. Alice often presents us with strange shapes at first glance, which are close to us. We know that the image shown is living matter. As if we knew the shapes. Are they animals? People? Here the fur jumps out on us, here the muscle, here the birds (or is it a jellyfish?), Elsewhere the snakes (those often) and they look like braids of girls… And also the faces. It is strange that they are often inaccessible, sometimes even icy cold. And it is also the flower that interests her. But don't expect a puget at all, a still life with a flower, a flowering tree. Rather, it is a forest with crowded buds of unknown flowers. If it's still life, then with a swampy well in the deep forest, if it's spring, then in the form of a lonely twig with buds. A well overgrown with tufts of grass. A heart on a bolt dulled by a climbing tendon.Despite all this, the fragility, tenderness, desire for harmony that is so ideal and therefore wanted are hovering over Alice's pictures. Alice, I think you know very well that we don't want your paintings to realistically mimic reality. We love them precisely because they reflect life differently. They are enchanting in their inexhaustible imagination, they like it, but they don't try to encourage, they are sincere and describe you as you know them.
