Alva Hajn belongs to a lost generation of artists who had only a brief moment in the 1960s to prove their painting qualities. Two principles are easily recognizable in his paintings - the aesthetic and ornamental principle and the other very dramatic and destructive. Predatory and organic structures alternate with calligraphic strokes. The figural motifs of the 1960s and 1970s are the embodiment of this inner struggle and drama, and according to some experts, works from this period are among the author's best. They are especially impressive with a combination of simplifying features and strongly expressive to organic structures.
