Curatorial Description (in English):
In “The Lineage Beyond the Stars,” ArNoUx channels the raw, visionary energy of German Expressionism to narrate an ancestral tale not bound by Earth. Central to the composition is the dignified face of an extraterrestrial matriarch, her gaze calm yet haunting, flanked by relatives whose features blur the line between human and alien—elongated ears, deep-set eyes, spectral complexions. Their feline companion, smiling mysteriously in the upper right, reminds us that affection, mystery, and loyalty travel across galaxies.

Each figure is rendered with bold, impasto strokes and harsh contrast, evoking the tension between familiarity and the unknown. The geometric background hints at advanced civilizations—grids of knowledge, memory, and migration—while the vivid palette invokes both nostalgia and rupture. At once surreal and intimate, this piece becomes a portal into a mythic family archive, one where love and legacy defy terrestrial origins.
