About this Event
The Emotional Landscape of Work
A Solo Exhibition by Rexell S. Livelo

I warmly invite you to The Emotional Landscape of Work, my solo exhibition presented as part of Alberta Culture Days 2026.

This collection of eight original paintings explores the emotional experiences of everyday workers across Alberta. Inspired by professions in education, healthcare, oil and gas, agriculture, skilled trades, and the service industry, each painting reveals the human stories behind the work we do every day.

Using surreal, dreamlike imagery and symbolic storytelling, my work looks beyond what work appears to be and explores what work feels like—capturing moments of stress, resilience, pride, joy, and quiet perseverance.

Whether you're an art enthusiast, a fellow worker, or simply curious about the human experience, I hope these paintings encourage reflection, conversation, and connection.
