About this artwork
This painting contains three narrative threads. The first is the Gospel of Luke, wherein Gabriel comes down from heaven to tell the Virgin Mary she will soon bare a child. The work uses the Christian plot as a metaphor. That any form of childbirth is a miracle and brings with it the hope that suffering might end.
The second scene exemplifies this. The flooded town and the three nuclear explosions found in the background. The wars of past, present,… and future. Another interpretation could be that these explosions are traces left behind after the birth of the universe.
The third narrative is reminiscent of the Lady and The Unicorn. This fifteenth century tapestry is large and mysterious, and hangs in the Cluny museum in Paris. It is an echo of the mercy, truth, peace, justice, and hope the scene of the Annunciation holds.

Alex Bras, a trained architect turned artist, masterfully employs mediums like used cardboard, acrylic, oil on canvas, and watercolor paper. With surrealistic and figurative techniques in her series, she explores complex human experiences, keying into the subtleties of emotions and mental states. Her emotionally-charged paintings, often featuring sea creatures and human figures, serve as a visual metaphor for the burdensome universality of the human experience, fluctuating between melancholy and hope.
