Alina Schiau

Alina Schiau was born in Romania and came to Switzerland as a political refugee.

Inspired by her family history, marked by the desire for individual freedom and the choice to follow her own path,

Schiau found art a natural means of expression. A journalist, actress and graphic designer, Alina Schiau left Geneva to settle in Paris after her studies.

Her varied career in different artistic circles has shaped her singular creativity, which she now expresses through the visual arts. Coming from a family history marked by exile and the quest for freedom, Schiau has been fully committed to a quest for artistic freedom since 2019, embracing abstraction and naive art as open doors to infinity and multiple creative possibilities.

Always fascinated by duality, Schiau explores the themes of modern society while reflecting on her personal history, through abstract painting whose intensity springs from a desire for contemporaneity. His work with colour and matter, rich in layers and vision, combines intellectual depth with a sensual and emotional dimension that expresses the constant duality between the creative process and the final work. Highlighting the beauty of things that are imperfect and incomplete, Schiau invites viewers to reflect on our society, or simply to smile.
