Alba Globe

Drawings that begin in a coffee cup.

Alba reads the forms left in the grounds, draws them in graphite, then gives them colour. Original drawings and signed prints from Alba Lab.

Art of Fulfilled Life, 2026

“My work begins with simple acts: boiling water, listening, watching forms appear. From hours, structure comes.”

From the cup

Each drawing has three lives: the grounds on the wall of the cup, the graphite line, the colour. These are Alba’s own photographs of each stage.

ALBA Globe

The creative world of Lina Simavičiūtė, working as Alba.

It brings together intuitive art, writing, photography, film and reflections on being human.

Behind the drawings is Alba Lab, my life experiment in observation, creativity and transformation. Through art, ritual and reflection, I explore the vision I call Homo Spiritus: You Are Soul.

Homo Spiritus: You Are Soul

My vision is a universal identity: Homo Spiritus, Soul. My mission is to work towards its legal recognition. I have chosen art as a universal language, together with the language of science, to explore what connects us beyond our labels and to invite every person to ask: Who am I?


To everyone who drinks coffee and lives forever.

Every drawing starts with a cup. Buying me one helps rebuild the studio, make the soulful house installation and bring this work to Los Angeles.
