Alina Schiau

Alina Schiau was born in Romania and welcomed in Switzerland as a political refugee. Inspired by her family's history, marked by the desire for individual freedom and the choice to follow her own path, Schiau found in art a natural means of expression. Journalist, actress, and graphic designer, Alina Schiau left Geneva to settle in Paris after her studies.

A Quest for Artistic Freedom

Her varied journey through different artistic environments has shaped her unique creativity, which she now expresses through 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.

The Duality

Always fascinated by duality, Schiau explores the themes of modern society while reflecting on her personal history, through abstract painting in which the intensity radiates a desire for contemporaneity. Her work on color and material, rich in layers and vision and reading, 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 imperfect and incomplete things, Schiau invites the viewer to engage in reflection on our society or simply to smile.
