Alia Simetra

At the center of many of his works lives a recurring character: Baby Simetra.

Baby Simetra is not simply a figure. He is the artist's inner child preserved in time, the boy who first became mesmerized by the promises of money and everything it seemed capable of providing. He represents innocence before certainty, curiosity before conclusion, and the beginning of a lifelong investigation into value, ambition, identity, and human desire.

Appearing across multiple timelines and realities, Baby Simetra serves as a silent traveler through the artist's evolving consciousness. Sometimes he is an observer. Sometimes he is a dreamer. Sometimes he is lost within worlds constructed from symbols of luxury, power, and aspiration. Through him, the artist revisits the original questions that continue to shape his work today.

Simetra approaches each creation as a dialogue between eras. He collects materials from the present while drawing conceptual blueprints from both the past and imagined futures. His works move freely through time, blending memory, speculation, nostalgia, and contemporary culture into layered visual narratives that challenge the viewer to reconsider what truly holds value.

The questions remain unanswered.

And perhaps that is precisely the point.

For Simetra, art is not a destination but an ongoing exploration. Every piece becomes a fragment of a larger conversation about human nature, desire, success, and self-discovery.

Today, his perspective on money has evolved. What once appeared to be the ultimate source of happiness is now understood as something far more nuanced. He sees money not as the destination itself, but as a medium of expression, a tool that can amplify individuality, enable experiences, fulfill authentic desires, and reveal who we truly are.
