Ale Monreal

a multi-disciplinary artist and film school drop-out of Colombian and Chilean descent. Her body of work consists of several mediums ranging from film, paintings, murals, textile/needle works to analog and digital photography. Drawing on inspiration from her childhood summers spent in Colombia at her grandmother’s she merges traditional needle work, painting and analog photography with the digital age and the western world. As a first generation Canadian she tries to capture the loss of wanting to be in two places at once and the roaming nature of belonging neither here nor there. Currently she is finishing an experimental Super 8/digital hybrid short film.

La luna se velaba. Serafines llorosos con el arco en los dedos, adolorida el alma, pensaban en la cama de las dormidas Flores de tallos vaporosos... La febril fantasía que las almas consume, por herirme a sabiendas se embriagó del perfume de tristeza que lanza la cosecha de un sueño, sobre el ser que lo alcanza. Mientras miraba el suelo con mirar abstraído, en la calma, en la tarde, te me has aparecido como un hada rïente, Como el hada risueña de mis tiempos mejores, Como el hada rïente que- de blancos fulgores Coronada la frente- Pasaba ante mis ojos, Pasaba ante mis ojos turbados dulcemente dejando que sus manos regasen, mal cerradas, ¡Nevados ramilletes de estrellas perfumadas! -Aparición- S. Mallarmé
