Title: ''CHIME OF JOY''
Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA

2024
Acrylic on canvas
100 x 95 cm

"Chime of Joy" is a visual interpretation of Schiller’s Das Lied von der Glocke, exploring themes of creation, transformation, and communal resonance. Through fluid gestures and luminous color, the work evokes the symbolic casting of a bell, translating sound into visual form and joy into an ephemeral, transcendent presence.

Title: ''THE CHOICE''
Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA

2024
Acrylic on canvas
120 x 100 cm

Inspired by Robert Frost’s poem ''The Road Not Taken'', this abstract painting reflects the pivotal moment of decision. Through layered textures and symbolic forms, it evokes the ambiguity, solitude, and quiet courage of choosing one's own path.
A meditation on divergence, consequence, and the enduring mystery of roads unseen.

Title: '''SEARCHED AND FOUND''
Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA

2024
Acrylic on canvas
100 x 95 cm

Drawing on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s poem ''Gefunden'', this work explores the intersection of nature, introspection, and revelation. Through layered textures and a chromatic interplay of organic forms, the painting reimagines the moment of poetic discovery as a visual metaphor for inner transformation, emphasizing the unexpected emergence of beauty and meaning.

Title: ''IN THE NAME OF LOVE''

Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA

2017
Acrylic on canvas
100 x 95 cm

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, this painting evokes the fluid tension between desire and dissolution. Vivid blues and dynamic strokes suggest the pull of the ocean and the mermaid’s transformation, capturing both the beauty and melancholy of sacrifice, longing, and the fleeting shimmer of a world beyond reach.

Title: ''A QUEST IN VAIN''
Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA
2024
Acrylic on canvas
120 x 150 cm

Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s El Dorado, A Quest in Vain captures the spectral beauty of a journey without end. Swirls of light and shadow evoke the fading hope of a seeker chasing an unreachable dream — El Dorado.
A luminous abstraction of longing, illusion, and the ache of eternal pursuit.

Title: ''THE ALB.ATROSS''

Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA
2024
Acrylic on canvas
120 x 100 cm

Engaging with Charles Baudelaire’s poem ''L’Albatros'', this painting explores the tension between transcendence and terrestrial constraint. The elongated form evokes the poetic figure as both elevated and estranged. Through abstraction and spatial distortion, the composition articulates the visionary’s condition— sublime in essence, yet dislocated within the confines of material reality.

Title: ''INNER SONG''

Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA

2024
Acrylic on canvas
120 x 150 cm

Inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the thing with feathers,” this painting translates the quiet resilience of hope into a luminous visual language. Soft gradients, featherlike textures, and an ascending central figure evoke the ethereal presence of hope—ever-present, delicate, and singing within, even in the face of uncertainty.

Title: '''THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN''
Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA

2018
Acrylic on canvas
100 x 95 cm

This painting engages the mountain as a symbolic site of transformation and ascent. Through dense layering, gestural abstraction, and chromatic contrasts, the painting evokes a liminal space where material and immaterial forces intersect. It invites contemplation of elevation—not only physical, but also psychological and spiritual—within a shifting, multidimensional landscape.

Title: ''RENDEZ - VOUS''
Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA
2018
Acrylic on canvas
100 x 95 cm

Engaging with Paul Claudel’s poem Rendez-vous, this painting investigates the phenomenology of encounter through an abstract visual language. Structured around intersecting trajectories and translucent spatial fields, the composition articulates a moment of heightened presence —where temporal and metaphysical planes converge, evoking the poetic tension between expectation, revelation, and transformative communion.

Title: ''LOVE IS BLIND''
Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA
2017
Acrylic on canvas
95 x 100 cm

Drawing on the symbolic structure of The Frog Prince fairytale, this work explores the dynamics of metamorphosis and latent identity. Through gestural abstraction and chromatic modulation, the painting constructs a visual allegory of the threshold between surface and essence, interrogating the conditions under which transformatio becomes possible.

Title: ''MODERN MAN''
Artist: ALEXANDRA CATINA

2022
Acrylic on canvas
100 x 95 cm

This work explores the tension between humanity and the accelerating pace of contemporary life.
This hybrid figure—part human, part machine—embodies the struggle to preserve identity amid technological advancement and relentless motion.
