My Story

 

I'm Alex Coloschi, and I create sculptures, 2D artworks, and sterling silver rings. While my jewellery may be the focal point of this space, it's the story behind each piece that truly defines my artistic journey.

Behind the scenes, my art serves a dual purpose. It's not just a creative expression; it's a lifeline. I discovered solace and self-discovery in my artistic endeavours. In the past 2 years, I have been troubled with constant, horrific hallucinations, which have greatly impacted my life on a day-to-day basis and disrupted the trajectory of my life. However, this didn't end my life's momentum; instead, it spurred me to find new ways to navigate and create meaning amidst the challenges.

I began expressing these visions through my art, which proved to be a form of therapy and allowed me to express my experiences. In my work, I meticulously utilise various techniques to represent the horrors imbued by the hallucinations I experience. My creations vividly communicate the core themes of struggle and torment. However, the pure fact that my art exists represents the dichotomy of my experiences—a portrayal of pain and perseverance.

During my struggle, I launched my own jewellery business. Fueled by inspiration, observation, and relentless determination, I embarked on this journey. By watching others, meticulously taking notes, and engaging in copious amounts of trial and error, I began trying to perfect my work. I strive not just to craft beautiful pieces but to conquer a personal challenge. It's a challenge to prove to myself and others that, even in the face of relentless struggles, accomplishment is within reach through effort and consistency.

As you explore my creations, I invite you to see beyond the aesthetics. I want my journey to inspire you, not just as an artist but as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and its capacity to overcome. Regardless of the issues or struggles you face, your goals are achievable. It's not the struggle that defines us, but our perseverance, which is beautiful.

Looking ahead, this is merely the beginning of my artistic expedition. I envision pushing the boundaries of my craft by delving into unexplored realms of creativity. The path forward involves honing my skills and embracing new inspirations. My goal is to not only expand my repertoire but to delve deeper into the emotional tapestry of my experiences, translating them into art that resonates universally. I am eager to explore the unwritten chapters, inviting you to witness the continuous metamorphosis of my artistry. As I embark on this uncharted terrain, the challenges are not roadblocks but stepping stones towards greater heights.
