RUSSIA

Aljona Shapovalova

  • I was born and raised in the North Caucasus, in North Ossetia, in one of the most complicated regions of Russia, which latently could not but influence my art. Nevertheless, in my projects I rarely work directly with acute social and political topics and prefer to distance myself a little and abstract from the surrounding reality.

    I received a strong academic education in art, which gives me the opportunity to freely work with various visual techniques. Contemporary painting and graphics are the main directions in my artistic work. I also realize myself as a curator of projects, work with videos, photos and other forms of contemporary art.

    Nowadays, more and more accelerating, when you can get lost in the flow of information, in news of social networks and successive events in reality - and in my art I want to talk about proportionality of human to this world. I want to show the Artist - creator, who able to structure, transforming chaos and loneliness into art.

    The growing misanthropy does not give me big interest to work a lot with the human personality, face, relationships, but interest to the traces of human hand, like architecture, art history, is preserved and inspiring me. Architecture, monuments of archeology and fine art from ancient ruins to modern skyscrapers and industrial objects intertwining with the ideas that modern life gives, especially virtual space and mass media form to me a visual and conceptual ideas.
