ALYCE MOJOY

ARTIST BIO

Alyce Mojoy is a Belgian visual artist whose work explores emotional landscapes through abstract painting. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas and paper, she approaches painting as a physical and intuitive process—one that allows inner states to surface through movement, texture, and layered color.

Her practice is rooted in gesture rather than representation. Each painting emerges from a dialogue between control and release, where the body leads and the mind follows. Through fluid motions, pressure, and repetition, she translates sensations such as tension, vulnerability, elevation, and grounding into visual form.

Color plays a central role in her work, not as decoration but as emotional matter. Blues, pinks, greens, and reds appear as fields of intensity, carrying weight, softness, friction, or breath. Rather than illustrating narratives, her paintings create spaces to feel, to pause, to confront, or to hold.

Mojoy’s work invites the viewer into an open experience, where meaning is not imposed but sensed. Each piece functions as a moment of passage: between chaos and balance, resistance and acceptance, structure and freedom.

Through abstraction, Alyce Mojoy seeks honesty. Her paintings do not aim to please or explain, but to remain true to what is present,raw, alive, and unapologetically human.


ARTIST STATEMENT

Painting is for me a way of staying connected to inner movement and transformation, a space where sensation, emotion, and change can be fully experienced. When emotions become too intense or too complex to be expressed through words, painting becomes my language. What cannot be said transforms into color, matter, and movement. It is a way for me to release what overwhelms me, a visual, instinctive, and physical form of processing.

My work emerges from moments of emotional submersion. The gestures are forceful, untamed, and often unpredictable, mirroring the emotions that move through them. I do not aim to control the final image, but to allow emotion to express itself freely. Letting go lies at the core of my practice.

I rarely use a brush. I mainly paint with a bank card or a palette knife, direct tools that allow me to push, spread, scrape, and mix the material without mediation. Colors are often blended directly on the surface and stretched together, creating spontaneous and organic layers. I work with a wide range of colors to preserve a sense of movement, tension, and instinctive mixing.

Each painting results from an emotional process rather than a visual intention. My works do not seek to illustrate, but to transmit an inner state. They are traces of lived experience, felt before they are thought.
