About this artwork

The albino catfish is a unique animal in the river. Because of its rarity, the chances of seeing it in the wild are one in a million. This work represents the feeling of being estranged, or alienated.

The catfish self portrait was made on used cardboard because of its natural background colour, and because cardboard is a material which we often overlook. Something we consider packaging rather than an art material. In this painting, I wanted to showcase… that even materials such as cardboard have an intrinsic value of beauty.

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.
