About
My name is Alyona Siergieieva and I am a self-taught artist with a Ukrainian background.
Painting has always been part of me, even when I didn’t know it.
When I was a kid I was quite an introvert. I loved to observe things.
I didn’t mind people but I felt the best when I was on my own.
In those moments the world around me was disappearing and another, my own world, was emerging in front of me.
A world with no rules and no limitations.
I was shy. To that extend that I had troubles in communicating with new people.
I was introduced to painting in school. I loved it, but I was afraid.
I was afraid to be judged. Because it was then that my inner self was coming out on the paper.
So I never really dared to paint as freely and as often as I wanted.
I did some painting now and then as a gift.
Gift to my friends, either it was painting on a thermo-mug or notebook cover.
But it was never really free. It was carefully chosen motives and color scales that fits in a “frame”.
Years went by. My personality was changing.
My father said I turned 180 degrees in my way of communicating with this world. I opened up and let the world to come in.
I still have some part of that introvert in me, but I’m not afraid anymore.
I’m free. And now I’m ready to pour on that canvas all I got in me.
Welcome to my art world ♥️
All my paintings tell a story or represent a feeling.
Take a moment and see what you find in them.
With Love,
Alyona
