Tina Alberni
Alberni is a semi-abstract, phygital artist. Layers of ideas, shapes, vibrant colors and symbolism coalesce in response to present day global imbalances.
MessageCelebrating these adorable wooly creatures for their playful and gentle spirits, this painting pays homage to their Andean roots where their fibers have been dyed in bright, symbolic colors for thousands of years by the indigenous Andean people.
Despite not being endangered, alpacas are increasingly used in the fashion industry due to their production of fine, soft fleece that surpasses sheep's wool in warmth and is hypoallergenic.
Shorn once a year, the shearing process, when conducted gently, is beneficial for their well-being; however, some places resort to abusive practices.
As an artist, my focus is on shedding light on alpaca treatment and advocating for ethical practices. When purchasing alpaca products, it's essential to seek labels indicating sustainable and compassionate approaches to obtaining alpaca fiber.
The final process of completing my work often involves meticulously organizing symbols that intersect cultures, objects, and events. Here, I strive to convey balance and coexistence within the artwork and within myself. It is a symbolic journey I embark on to distill the complexities of our world into a hopeful narrative that celebrates harmony and connection.
