Alina Jung

Alina Jung is a surreal and concept artist and photographer, who’s visual language is characterized by her way of finding ideas for her work, much rather than the medium in which she chooses to realize them. Free flowing between different artistic mediums, much like different language, she concentrates her main focus on the process of translation itself. By way of translating feelings, thoughts and words into a visible form, she aims to further and deepen her understanding of said. Especially the translation of words into pictures represents for her a way of connecting the logical with the creative part of the brain, thus gaining new perspectives.

Symbolisms and dream like landscapes are recurring themes within her endeavors.

Her artistic practice has simultaneously become a refuge from the human existence, as well as a way of understanding and remembering, the inherent beauty of the human experience, no matter if painful or pleasurable.

Deeply influenced by the traveling and adventurous lifestyle of her parents, Alina was early on exposed to a variety of different cultures, beliefs and langues. The term ‘translation’ has long become central theme for her, the nuances hidden in different words of the same meaning have given rise to hours of contemplation and carried the key to understanding people from utterly different backgrounds.

Alina was born in 1998, in southern Germany. From the age of three, she was raised in Switzerland and stayed there until she was 26, before she returned back to Germany as a base and began traveling the world in constant search of wonder and a better understanding of it’s inhabitants, including herself.
