Alex's new collection: Romeo and Juliet
In this fresh perspective, the focus isn’t on the love between these doomed lovers, but rather a reflection on the personal transformations each one of us undergoes in order to sustain a relationship.
Juliet outside
Juliet Portrait
The initial phase of the story primarily serves as a comparative representation of the psychological states of the two young protagonists.
Juliet inside
Verona on her mind
On one hand, we have Juliet: on the surface, she appears calm, but she is trapped by the desires and expectations of her parents.
Romeo outside
Romeo's Portrait
Similar to the portrait of Juliet we have the portrait of Romeo. Rich, handsome, and yet melancholic like Juliet.
Romeo inside
Pain is close to pleasure
He’s tormented by selfish desires and impulses, aimed solely at his own personal gratification.
Juliet's family situation
Being Pulled Apart
In a profound state of distress, Juliet appears shattered. The painting depicts her as if she’s tearing pieces from herself, to the point of seeming on the verge of disintegration.
The decision to change
Moment of Truth
This painting marks a turning point, the beginning of transformation. Juliet realizes that change requires letting go of a part of herself.
