Red Phantasmagoria of

ALINA MARTINA LEWIS

Bending light with material devotion and optical obsession. Turning alchemy, elements, pigments and oils into luminous glass chambers where my hybrids live.
Once they crystalize in time, they turn into eternal breathing jewels: Red Phantasmagorias.

The hybrids of Red Phantasmagoria belong to an internal folklore.
They are archetypes that deal with psychological or physical transformation.
By keeping the forms sharp and the brushwork as clear and smooth as a jeweler's finish, I build subjects that feel, just like myself, far backward or far forward, but never contemporary.
Classical, futuristic, symbolic, metaphysical, somewhat naive, and deeply personal.

Of the marrow of my bones,
oils firing the wicks of my imagination,
and the pedantic, ambitious precision
of my left hand...
