Activity

Alyona Asjornaja is a painter of naive style.

Due to their representational and dreamlike compositions, she describes a personal world in Slavic mythology, traditional Russian fairy tales and biblical stories are mixed. It combines the naive drawing with a very great mastery of colors and designs. These deep and generous colors are exactly like the nature that surrounds them and which penetrate the majority of their images. They are also very inspired by colors, which are used in the Russian tradition in the interior of farms up to icons adorning the churches.
