In her series entitled "Identity", the trans-disciplinary visual artist Eliane Aisso, explores the emotional resilience, as well as the psychological and mysterious tenor inherent, not only to her West African cultural heritage, but in resonance with various other cultures across the globe. In her practice, Aisso takes viewers on an evolutionary journey that ushers in a deeper understanding of modern society and the cultural undercurrents shaping our human identity.

Six years of academical, theoretical and practical studies exposed Aisso to a spectrum of media exploring painting, drawing, photography, video and installation. In her praxis, Aisso cross-pollinates this proficient multiverse into a Nexus of her own creation.

Within the mesmerising pictorial realms she creates, Aisso conjures metaphysical entities that are drifting halfway between the tangible reality and the invisible residing elsewhere. Rising from an evanescent physicality, her friendly avatars are transfigured into a compelling iconography inspired by science fiction and technological advancements. 

With her masterful brushstrokes, Eliane Aisso materialises a tantalising ‘Chiaroscuro’. Tinkering with the substrate of her canvas, she alters its surface by way of erosion with an iron blade and sand paper, applying multiple layers of organic pigments, as if to reassign each work of art with an abstract figurative corporeality that mirrors her own psyche.
