Alena Sokolova

Alena Sokolova is a contemporary painter based in Boston, originally from Siberia, Russia. Her practice bridges classical oil painting with post-digital aesthetics, examining the tension between material tradition and contemporary visual culture. Through detailed studies of botanical forms — from full bloom to decay — she explores transformation, impermanence, and the fragile equilibrium between states. She integrates glazing, mixed media, and metallic leaf with graphic structures that reference the visual language of the digital age. In selected works, she extends the painted surface through Augmented Reality, where static botanical forms come to life. A member of the SoWa Artists Studios in Boston, she has exhibited in the United States and internationally. Her works are held in private collections across the US, UK, Russia, and Europe.
