Alda Rose's earth portraits reminisce about an absent world of a natural objects where desolation was anticipated. Figurative and lyrical work is presented in a post-apocalyptic context, like ghosts that haunt our memory.

The mundane natural objects of a fictitious (futures) past become ethereal, archetypal relics.

The distance makes the mountains blue is an icelandic phrase that reflects the artists' concept in a nutshell. Our memory of objects, places and people become obscured with time and distance, and sometimes even gain increased merit when dematerialized/extinct.

The color application and depiction of objects pay tribute to the oversentimental and theatrical ambiance of Alda's work.
