About

Artlas Studio is a collection of illustrated riddles. The drawings facilitate the answer, and the question at the end of the riddle indicates what type of hint is being provided. For example, “Can you find it?” will refer to an object that is hidden within the drawing. “What is it?” will indicate that the overall drawing itself is an abstract representation of the answer.

All riddles are written and illustrated by Alexandra Laval.

FAQ

  • The purpose of Artlas Studio is to incentivize observers to use their faculty of reason when engaging with art.

    “What is the message of the piece?”, “what is it trying to convey?” - historically, the answer to these questions has been left to the discretion of the observer, subject to their interpretation. Here, we want observers to engage in an active game of discovery with the artist.

  • Eventually. At the moment, I am restricted by a work visa that does not permit income from side hustles. I will get a shop up and running once my immigration status changes :)
