Digital screenshot of website interface structured into three-column format with dark vertical sidebar at left, central main content area, and slim navigation column at right. Site header identifies subject as “Alex Boya” with profile page dedicated to projects and activities. Top of main content column displays horizontal banner illustration in monochrome ink depicting humanoid bust with turbine-like engine head, seated behind bar counter with bottles and shelves, composition framed within architectural interior. Beneath banner, page organizes content into three stacked article previews.

First article titled “Dernier verre avec Justine” features illustration identical to header, paired with text excerpt beneath. Second article presents photographic scene from Festival 2019, crowd of people gathered at Café Court event with Espresso signage visible in background; article caption emphasizes return of Espresso program and festival continuation. Third article highlights portrait of individual in front of abstract colorful backdrop with arms crossed, title reading “Café court – Alex Boya.” Each article preview block includes thumbnail image, bold red title text, excerpt paragraph, and red link button labeled “Lire la suite.”

Right-hand column lists related navigational links and tags, including author name, article references, and thematic categories. Sidebar on left displays structured menu hierarchy: homepage link, thematic categories such as “Actualités,” “Articles,” and “Entretiens,” as well as search bar and social media icons. Footer region of page displays multiple logos of partner organizations, including Telefilm Canada, SODEC, ONF/NFB, Conseil des arts du Canada, and media partners, arranged in horizontal row against dark background.

Visual layout emphasizes clear separation of functional zones through background contrast: dark grey sidebars flanking white central content, red highlights marking interactive buttons and category labels. Typography employs sans-serif fonts for body text and headers, consistent with contemporary web design standards. Images alternate between illustrative artwork and documentary photography, creating balance between artistic representation and event documentation. Overall webpage structure functions as professional portfolio and news archive presenting Alex Boya’s artistic contributions, public events, and institutional associations within structured digital interface.
Image composed of overlapping textual and graphic layers. The base consists of printed prose in English, formatted in justified alignment with uniform serif typography, resembling a page excerpt from a book. The visible passage includes narrative content describing an interaction, with sentences referencing “goodbye,” “people of Earth,” and “something else.” The printed words remain legible but are partly obscured by subsequent drawn elements.

Superimposed over the text is a graphite-rendered face occupying the majority of the visual field. The drawing is executed in linear sketch style, characterized by dense, short, and overlapping strokes. The depicted features are angled downward, focusing on the brow and eyes, giving prominence to the upper facial region. The eyes are shaded heavily, with surrounding hatching forming dark recesses under the brow ridge. Wrinkles and creases are suggested with loosely repeated lines across the forehead and beneath the eyes, emphasizing age or fatigue.

At the center, two small circular forms resembling stylized spectacles or cartoon-like eyes are drawn in fine ink, placed directly between the brows. These elements contrast with the heavier graphite work, adding a minimal, humorous, or absurd insertion into an otherwise somber rendering. Extending upward from this point is a thin symmetrical ink line, splitting at the top into two outward curves, resembling antennae or decorative flourish. This overlay interrupts the cohesion of the sketched face, introducing graphic disruption into the layered image.

The combination of book text, expressive graphite drawing, and minimalist ink intervention creates a tri-layered composition: narrative language as base, representational portrait as mid-layer, and abstract-symbolic addition as final mark. The page background remains off-white, showing subtle paper texture. The integration emphasizes the intersection of written narrative, visual emotion, and playful graphic intervention, situating the work between illustration, annotation, and experimental collage.
