Before the lights go off
Before the Lights Go Off (2025) by Alex Kyah is a deeply introspective painting exploring transition, surrender, and symbolic rebirth. Executed in oil and pastels on canvas, the work captures a suspended moment between endings and beginnings. Immersed in saturated, electric color, the figure appears both vulnerable and resolute—held within a charged atmosphere of fire, water, and ritual symbolism.
The composition suggests an internal shedding rather than physical death: the quiet release of an outdated self. Through expressive figuration and chromatic intensity, Kyah reflects on identity as something that must sometimes dissolve in order to be rebuilt. The painting becomes a meditation on letting go—fear, noise, past illusions—while standing at the threshold of transformation.
