'Ripple'
experimental painting
2019 - 2020
Through her experimental watercolour practice Aleksova challenges the notions of traditional watercolour painting by using steel as the base of each work, sometimes etching the steel with acid which deteriorates the metal, creating beautiful patterns of rust.
The rust will carry on eating the metal, changing the artwork with every single second that passes.
This process is playing with the idea of losing and regaining control, in the creation of artworks which are unique and cannot be replicated.
What is then left on the canvas is not simply an image but an event.
