Alina R.J is a London-based multidisciplinary artist, who is intertwining discourse around social, cultural, psychological, philosophical and spiritual concepts to explore contemporary issues through a prism of ancient knowledge, seeking to uncover timeless truths. Inspiration for her work derives from both the external world, society, events, and individuals, and her internal landscape – memories, dreams, meditative practices and feelings. She communicates her ideas by leveraging abstract shapes and colours along with symbolism and metaphors – these tools allow the artist to stimulate the process of free associations and unlock the viewer’s hidden thoughts or feelings. Ethereal and surrealistic visuals serve as a playground for the viewers’ subconsciousness obliterating the boundaries between fantasy and reality. The artist often complements these visuals with written reflections, extending her exploration of the ideas and adding an additional layer to the viewer's experience. Alina’s ultimate goal is to evoke emotional resonance and provide a space for contemplation and introspection. In an era dominated by information overload and external distractions, she believes it is essential to highlight the significance of one's internal world and encourage viewers to turn inward. ‘It is impossible to find oneself externally – all the answers we seek are already within us.’ In essence, her practice is a testament to the interconnectedness of all human experiences and the profound wisdom that resides within.
