#13 (2023) Original Oil Painting by Alena Kovalli

In the Nomades series of works, the artist reflects on her own experience of relocation and the social maladaptation associated with it.
Through the technique of inversion (change of the normal order), the artist explores the depth of the destruction of previous adaptive mechanisms and the stages of building interaction with a new, alien environment.
The "vibrating" pictorial technique is intended to convey feelings of instability and
uncertainty, when maladaptive perturbations reveal themselves, then disappear and
reappear.
This series is a multi-stage exploration of the process of adaptation and the search for a new identity.
