A spray painters portrait

Målning av Ajja

A shortfilm that wants to mediate a vibe or an energy

During 2014-2016, Ajja had the opportunity to spray paint a painting in the Graffiti Hangar in Malmö. The film was shown at the Pixel short film festival in 2016.

- It was a process painting where I was looking for a motive to paint. When I started painting, I didn't have a drawn sketch from the beginning, but I had inspirational pictures that I liked. For me, it became an existential motive about how a person comes to be. Everything is a form of a womb, if the starry sky represents science and the sunlight shining through the clouds is considered religious light. The color explosion in which the bodies stand can be interpreted as an injection. Just because at the time I made the painting, it was probably what I thought the world considered the most important thing, to paint a symbolic universal picture of how a human being is made.

In the film, you get to follow Ajja's work and her process into a beautiful motive with emotions and strong perspectives.
