sometimes i get lost  
swallowed up by the maze  
until i look up and feel your light  
reflecting off the little orange stars  
you painted on each butterfly’s wing

protector of the butterfly maze

moving through cycles of death and rebirth  
goodbye 25

to live and die in a year

they all know me in a way I don't know myself

grasping at the intangible

the return inward represents the contrasting aesthetic and emotion behind my art. 

At first glance, my art visually embodies an idealistic view of childhood through primary colors and imperfect, abstract figures. My style emanates the freedom and simplicity of youth that I am constantly trying to reconnect with in myself. 

But beyond the pure, child-like aspect of my style exists a deep, hidden loneliness that I carried with me from a young age. My abstract self-portraits represent the contrasting emotions of isolation and connection, confusion and inner-knowing,  limitation and expansiveness; pieces of me that overlap and co-exist. 

While much of my creative process is inspired by pain, there is beauty reflected in it. An understanding of what life can be; the freedom and power you hold; the beauty and meaning found within the vast insignificance of it all. This is the return inward.

Connected Consciousness

"it all returns to me" by Alyssa Stevens 

it all returns to me 

the mirror exists all around us, above us, within us. a reflection of our inner world. an infinite energy that moves in every direction and connects everything along its path.

i am you. you are me. we are all God. the mirror reflects this truth.

The Alyssa Stevens Exhibit

The Intangible washes over my reality. Connected to your energy on this realm and another I visit in my dreams. You exist in everyone I meet.

transcendence

We are the Universe and the Universe is within us simultaneously. Our hearts speak a language written the moment the Universe came into existence, guiding us towards our purpose. Yet so many of us are disconnected from our hearts, unable to recall the language we once knew so well.

The Creator Within is a mirror into our true selves and the power we hold. Once we remember the language of the heart, we have access to boundless energy and the ability to manifest anything we desire.

Gabe Weis and Alyssa Stevens both describe their creative processes as "stream of consciousness," allowing various emotions and motifs to flow through while connecting to the present moment. Upon meeting at Art Basel 2022, the two artists knew their styles would work perfectly together in a collab. Over a year later, "We are just mirrors" was born, a digital piece passed back and forth between the two artists over the course of a few weeks. A merging of Gabe's iconic cubist faces and Alyssa's detailed yet abstract line work brings forth a sense of newness in this open edition.

inspired by Molly McCutcheon's "Cycles Sing," this piece approaches the concept of cycles through a nostalgic lens of loss, understanding, and acceptance. Always returning to the green carpet where time stands still and we are together again.
