Kseniia Alferova

My name is Kseniia Alferova, I was born in 2000 in Saint Petersburg, Russia into a family of artists.

My art is, above all, about the human experience — about resilience and the ability to preserve inner freedom. It tells the story of a woman who, despite challenges, continues to believe in love and the desire to be loved.

I explore deeply personal themes: love, sensuality, acceptance, femininity. These are subjects often discussed, but rarely truly felt. Through my paintings, I aim for that kind of honest, vulnerable immersion.

Line and color are my main tools of expression. I study the psychology of color and embed emotional codes into each work, inviting the viewer to connect more deeply and step into my inner world.
