Party Wave
Linen textile
Ali Beletic’s Freerider Flags demonstrate her interest in free rider culture, which she describes as a philosophy and way of life that celebrates new experiences beyond existing boundaries. The linen textiles are inspired by the words of journalist Hunter S. Thompson and the stories of vanguards who lived simply with hedonic spirit. Take “Party Wave” for example—the phrase originates from surf culture and describes when multiple surfers share a wave. Beletic’s flag champions the term and its unlimited, inclusive attitude.

“I feel like all of my work not only has this grounding in earth and humanity, but also in a sense of party, celebration, and vibrancy.”
About the Artist
Ali Beletic
Ali Beletic’s large original abstract paintings, recently highlighted in Vogue and Architectural Digest (featured in Eva Chen’s home), celebrate the raw emotion of joy, movement, and connection. Her gestural paintings use bold, dynamic strokes and layered textures to explore the intricate relationship between movement and abstraction. These large-scale works resonate with the energy of rock 'n' roll, ancient traditions, and sensory experiences, creating pieces that feel alive and transport viewers into a realm of instinctive expression and creativity. Each painting is a celebration of the human spirit, offering a unique focal point for art collectors and interior designers alike.
In addition to her paintings, Beletic’s practice includes hand-sewn textile flags that delve further into the relationship between gesture and abstraction. These meticulously crafted works combine vivid designs with the tactile intimacy of fabric, emphasizing the physicality of creating and the expressive potential of material. By blending precise craftsmanship with the spontaneity of abstract forms, Beletic’s textiles bring a deeply personal and multi-sensory dimension to her artistic repertoire. Her innovative approach to both painting and textiles transforms raw emotion into striking, tangible forms that elevate any space. Perfect for those seeking bold, original artwork, Beletic’s creations reflect a deep connection to human creativity and celebration.
