Bio

Her mother was a model whose career ended with marriage and childbearing. Alice started beauty pageant contests when she was a child. Followed a teenager model career and then success on well known catwalks in Paris, her hometown, New York, Milan. But Alice Juno was aware that this cannot last for long and had a plan B. With the money she earned and saved, she studied at School of Art in New York.
Alice Juno began by creating texture compositions from materials and fabrics. Very soon she and people around her understood that her designs were rather independent art objects then outfits. Within a few years she gently passed, in a very natural way, from design to painting. As she claims, painting has fewer restrictions. Her way of painting surely does. Alice Juno allows her sensual sensitivity to color and texture to “go overtime”, as she puts it. Is very adamant about her independence and protective of her privacy.

Art Statement

Putting paint on the surface of the canvas is a very intuitive gesture. This activity is more an element of a process than it represents a ready idea. The finished work is a condensed visual information. It presents basic gestures, original symbolism and iconography. Only reflection connects the viewer with the work, allows him to discover the emotional layer. Creating pictures is for me an attempt to manifest my own private sphere of life. It is not only about the finished image, but rather about the process, context and acquired experience. This is the result of the materials used and the effects of light reflection on matt and glossy, flat and textured surfaces.
