In this collection of 15 paintings, Alexia Baldacchino explores modern anxiety around sleep, a natural necessity that often proves elusive. Drawing from her personal experience with sleep disorders, the artist uses “nectar” as a metaphor for the sweet, restful slumber people long for. By combining this theme with human forms and expressive figures, she captures the delicate mystery and fragility of sleep.
