Biography

Alyona Masterkova is an artist whose work explores themes of identity, memory, and emotional introspection. She creates symbolic portraits using mixed media painting and drawing techniques, often incorporating textured surfaces and stencils. These materials allow her to express the passage of time and the traces it leaves behind.

Masterkova's art reflects on solitude, childhood impressions, and the search for personal meaning. Gardens frequently appear in her compositions, serving as metaphors for inner refuge and spiritual cultivation. Through her delicate use of symbolism, she evokes the invisible emotional landscapes that shape individual experience.

Trained in monumental painting with a background in mosaics, Masterkova brings a sense of structure and depth to her practice while maintaining a poetic sensitivity to the human condition.
