| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Using her personal symbolism since she was a child, Ger Alby shows a natural interpretation of the surrounding.
Into her landscapes, creatures from alchemic worlds melt with elements of nature and became surrounded by Middle-aged, Oriental and Celtic atmospheres, driving us into a quiet and peaceful world.
Ger Alby works on those themes due to her ascending family, comming from Albi, southern France, the french Cathare city where Toulouse-Lautrec was born, and where rises the Sainte-Cécile fortified cathedral. At 1209, one of the cruzades took place in this city.
Authors like Hieronimous Bosch, Nicolai Kalmakoff, Zdzislaw Beksinski, W. Blake and several anonymous miniaturists artists from the middle-age inspire her, melting Symbolism, Expressionism and Surrealism into her compositions.
But also masters like Modigliani, Böcklin, Kahlo, Klimt, Lévy-Dhurmer or the japanese Nakamura Hochu are important for her learning as are writers too, like W. Blake, Baudelaire, A. Schopenhauer, O. Wilde, M. Yourcenar, among others.

| Your Personal Biography |
Self-taught since she was eleven, she develops - into solitude and isolation - almost unconsciously, the domain over creativity, line, shape and colour.
She spends great part of her time on personal experimentation and personnal search until the Master Hermes del Sol discovers her and invites her to participate in his Atelier and finally motivates her to realize formal studies.
In order to integrate the artistic activity, she gets into the San Carlos National School of Plastic Arts of in Mexico City, and after that, she definitively attends a professional education at Plastic Arts School, at Guadalajara University. At this time she already exerts her profession.
Her work is the result of a strong questioning position over the human being and also astonishment towards “human” vertues, more sarcastically appearing in nature than in the human being itself, who is –under her particular vision- “an incredibely amazing creature and an amazingly decadent being at the same time”
“In the artist’s work, the man is the possessor of the universe´s secret by his capability, and at the same time a provoker of a self-destruction with no equal by his actions.” |
