Expressive Vase Print

Alena Firsanova is an artist based in Turkey. She works with different themes over time. In her works her main purpose is constantly being in a search for new shapes and colour effects by using traditional material; trying to express her own sensations and novel ideas regarding the subject. ''For me, art is not only a way to express myself, it is a way to explore and understand my own identity, the nature and the universe through the process of creation. The materials I chose are traditional because of the sensation of texture and surface, the tactile aspect of the creating process is what stimulates my imagination. Feeling the brush or pen touching the surface; the uniqueness of the moment of drawing or painting happening in front of my eyes, in a real life; and the mental state of flow called forth by this struggle is what makes me feel unquestionably alive.''
