Embark on a journey into the world of the enigmatic and multi-talented Jolie Alien. An artist and model who seamlessly blends creativity and allure, Jolie Alien invites us to explore the fascinating convergence of imagination and aesthetics.
hube: Can you tell us about your background and how you got started as an artist? What drew you to the world of contemporary art?
Jolie Alien: I have been working as a model since I was 14. But in 2017 the government passed a law about the working age limit. So it became impossible for me to work until 16. I had to go back to my normal life and got really bored and depressed. At the same time, art has always been around me. I remember always going to museums and art shows with parents in different countries . So once there was this art shop in a museum where I saw a canvas on sale. I thought why not try to create something? And this canvas was followed by another one and another one and another one…
h: What inspires your work, and how do you choose the subjects or concepts you explore in your art?
JA: Life inspires me. An artist is a reflection of reality. And every day things can be shown in totally magic and new way. Once you find what triggers your attention—you work around it.
h: In what ways has the modeling shaped your artistic expression, and do experiences from your career in the fashion industry manifest in the themes or subjects of your creative endeavors?
JA: Modeling is a huge part of my life. Of course it has a profound reflection on me. I remember doing a whole series of sketches about the fashion week. Fashion industry gave me a push when I was working on Mango campaign—not only as a model but also as an artist. It was then when I realised that my artistic work can be interesting for other people.
