Fruit Painting

From Real Life to Imagined Worlds. Hello! My name is Alena, and I am an artist who finds inspiration in nature and the simple joys of life. I live in Finland, and the world around me — from peaceful forests to vibrant fields of flowers — is reflected in my work. I create oil and watercolor paintings, focusing on plants, flowers, landscapes, and food. Some of the plants in my paintings are imagined, with a slightly fantastical twist, yet they still resemble real ones. My goal is to capture the natural beauty and harmony of these subjects. I don’t aim for perfect precision in my work — slight imperfections and looseness give my paintings a sense of liveliness. To me, they remind us that each piece is handmade by a human, with all its quirks and individuality, not by a machine that seeks perfection. Every artwork is unique and filled with my personal view of the world. Art created with love can bring warmth and comfort into your home. Thank you for visiting, and I hope my paintings bring you a little joy and inspiration!
