HOPE: Spotlights , 2025 Acrylic on canvas 152.4 × 203.2 cm
Alena Alice is a Slovakian-born British artist based in the West Midlands. Alice translates the fragmented noise of modern life into abstract compositions, echoing digital glitches and distortions. Inspired by communication errors, signal breakdowns, and broadcast interference, Alice reimagines disruption as a new visual language where error becomes form and chaos becomes rhythm. Working with acrylic paint, Alice constructs geometric sequences through layered lines and rhythmic brushstrokes. The resulting patterns reference white noise, visual static, and algorithmic systems, while maintaining improvisation and tactility. Personal experiences of illness and recovery, alongside a professional background in healthcare, inform Alice’s practice and underpin the concept of the six Cs of the Artist: creativity, collaboration, compassion, courage, commitment, and competence. These values shape both the making process and engagement with audiences.
Artwork Introduction Communication’s complexities, with its transmissions, disruptions and transformations, form the core of Alena Alice’s practice. These disruptions generate errors which, rather than appearing as flaws, become opportunities. Unintended patterns, broken signals and misalignments create alternative structures of beauty and narrative. This field of disruption provides the foundation of Alena’s aesthetic, reimagining original messages through colour, repetition and coded form. In this transformation, light, optimism, and renewal emerge, qualities that shape each finished piece. The large-scale painting HOPE: Spotlights unites multiple canvases into a single composition. Each panel is built and then broken down through processes of struggle and reinvention. This layered construction mirrors the chaos of communication and the clarity that can rise from it. Circular forms and bright accents act as symbols of focus and positivity, functioning as ‘spotlights’ within the surrounding noise. Process and concept remain central to Alena’s painting, yet the work stays intensely visual. The medium’s versatility supports endless variations and interpretations. Each piece invites viewers to pause, decode and connect, fostering an active encounter. Acrylic on canvas enables dynamic layering of textures, colours and shapes evolving throughout production, reflecting transformation both visual and conceptual. Painting becomes a fluid vehicle for exploring structure, disruption and resolution.
