About this artwork
The red whale is both monstrously heavy and weightless. As well as that invisible burden which each of us carries/ holds/ drags throughout every day of our lives. A burden of thoughts, ideas, feelings, memories, hopes and disappointments. It cannot be shaken off or even shared with anyone, and at the same time, it is beautiful. Beautiful because in many ways it creates our identity. Sometimes it splashes with small fishies of gold, sometimes it gathers…
in a red air giant with fins.
But the most important thing is that it continues to be bearable for us. Water makes a multi-ton whale light and supports it with ease. What helps us to carry our burden?
All the commonplace things. Relatives, friends, beauty, nature and art. Mainly ourselves. We are designed to be undeniably strong and stable, sometimes without even realizing our own strength, mental and physical.

Credentials
- Works on commission
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.
