My art begins where names end

Where a name ends, a new journey begins.
Each journey ends with a creation

Born in India, my name is Alennott. From my childhood, I’ve questioned the significance of my non-Indian name.

Through art, I found a voice to articulate the complexities of my identity, the struggles of my ancestors, and the challenges of my generation. It’s through art that I reclaim my cultural heritage, honor my roots, and confront the forces that seek to erase diversity and impose homogeneity.

To live in this world together we need a center to connect everywhere. We must stay in this center and disseminate everywhere. 

This center which expands everywhere is the truth.

My art is the way towards this truth.

Art transformed my name into a potent symbol, one that echoes the eternal question, ‘Where am I?’ This question became a gateway to the realm of feeling, a profound exploration of identity and belonging.

In the  “Black Square ”of Malevich, I discovered the realm of feeling and the void—a pivotal moment that spurred me to create my own center, a sanctuary to explore reality’s depths.

This center is my name—Alennott—a symbolic representation guiding my journey to re-establish the bond that ties with names and forms while breaking the boundaries between self and other.

Each of my works manifests itself as a proper response in relationship to this center.

Symbols possess an inherent power, stemming from their essence, to re-examine the foundational ideals of our contemporary world. Through this exploration, they transcend boundaries, shaping a cultural landscape where they stand at the very center.

‘Alennott’ is not just a name; it’s my home, a symbol—an epicenter for traversing the continuum between relative and absolute, East and West, life and death.

Through my works, I offer manuscripts documenting the intricate dramas of life and nature, striving to articulate and navigate an ecological consciousness. »
