ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Alisa

***
Siberian-born, Netherlands-based contemporary artist.
I started my art journey in 2016 by taking private lessons from well-known Latvian artist Ilgvars Zalans.
My expanding practice is gradually moving from landscapes and still life to abstract compositions.
I work with oil, mixed media and digital art to capture the brightest moments of my personal experiences.
Nature is a primary inspiration, helping to bring colour and dynamism to each work.
“Imagination is the core of the future” - Alisa.B.
***

“Inspiration is everywhere. I capture the brightest moments of my experience and transfer them as messages on canvas. Sensitive, colourful and dynamic paintings represent my ideology, yet also give viewers an opportunity to create their own.”

MY WORLD

I'm passionate person and easily carried away by a tune or a shadow playing on the leaves in a hot summer day

***

In my home you can always find a vintage pieces, good food, loud music and a bouquet of fresh flowers

Spending a lot of time outdoors I am always inspired by nature

***

As much as I am a minimalistic person, I also pay attention to little details that give space a bright and sensitive accent

DURING MY HIKING TRIPS I ALWAYS BRING SOMETHING WITH ME:
PINE CONES, SNAGS, STONES OR SHELLS.

Reviews

Femke Schellekens

Alisa is a talented artist and I am very happy to have one of her unique artworks in my house. I saw this particular painting and I was immediately drawn to it.
What I love about Alisa’s work is that it is very colourful and often inspired by nature’s beautiful scenery. And this painting matches perfectly with the colours in my house. I enjoy looking at it every day!

Ellen Moons-Rademakers

Alisa has been a great guide by helping me to choose the painting I really wanted.
In her paintings she captures the different emotions one feels while looking at the subject. She picked up on my personal emotions and thus guided me to “my” painting. As a result the painting now hangs in my home, looking like it has always been there. A perfect fit!

I came into contact with Alisa through a good friend, as I was looking for colour in my new home and wanted something unique.
After a short introduction, Alisa sensed exactly what I was looking for and presented some warm and colourful sketches.
Fortunately, I did not have to wait long for the end result and it is a nice addition to my home. Well done Alisa!

Spring is here…

Sort of… this spring is quite cold in the Netherlands, but the cherry blossoms festival makes it cheerful. Sakura in bloom is a unique symbol of rebirth, renewal and a new beginning and a wonderful model for drawing.

Hello Monday!
So this is a nice way to decorate your space with art prints. A nice passepartout frame in wood of your choice, and the right composition of few prints, the wall will brighten up.

Affordable prints are a great alternative to an artwor
