Alina Schiau

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

Inspired by her family's history, marked by the desire for individual freedom and the choice to follow one's 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.

Her varied background in different artistic environments has shaped her unique 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 on color and material, rich in layers and in vision and reading, combines intellectual depth with a sensual and emotional dimension which 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 reflect on our society or simply to smile.
