Bárbara Alegre
b.1976
바바라 알레그레의 작업은 세상의 폭력과 혼돈에 맞서 편안한 이미지를 만들어내려는 깊은 열망에서 출발한다. 작가는 사물들을 층층이 쌓아 올리며 자연과 인간성의 요소를 결합하고, 이를 통해 인간과 다른 생명 사이의 조화를 탐구한다. 이러한 이미지의 융합 속에서 작가는 모든 존재의 상호 연결성을 성찰하며, 통합과 공존의 비전을 제시한다.
Barbara Alegre’s work arises from a profound desire to create soothing images in response to the violence and chaos of the world. By layering objects and merging elements of nature with humanity, she explores harmony between human beings and other forms of life. Through this fusion of images, Alegre reflects on the interconnectedness of all existence and offers a vision of unity and coexistence.
