In her boundless series, Alice Varsho brings two types of temporal structures into confrontation: quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative structure represents the division of time into continuous intervals of days, seasons, and years. However, the qualitative structure lies outside this realm, creating an internal and cyclical framework for the course of life. In this sense, by entering the world of myths, human creation, and related stories, the artist raises a kind of desire and longing for a return to qualitative time, in which the passage of time has no meaning, and meaning is accompanied by a kind of stillness, extension, and at the same time, dynamism and the absolute dominance of good. Thus, in her works, she not only distances herself from quantitative, transient, and repetitive structures, but also, by journeying to the land of myths and the primordial myths, invites us to see, understand, and perceive the dominance of a kind of mythical morality in which everything is in absolute light and goodness, and evil has not yet come into being. And thus, painting is an arena for contemplation and the dynamic re-reading of creation and its story.
