Alisa Gorelova was born in 1988 and currently lives and works in St. Petersburg, Russia. She graduated from the graphic arts department of the Repin Academy of Arts and completed internships at the Nongyuan International Art Village in Chengdu, China, and Saimaa University of Applied Sciences in Finland. Gorelova is a member of Untamed Open Studios and a regular participant in the Blazar Art Fair. She has taken part in numerous group exhibitions across Russia, France, Italy, China, the United Kingdom, and Finland, and has held seven solo exhibitions. Working primarily in painting, Gorelova focuses on corporeality as a central motif. Her practice brings together strong academic craftsmanship, evident in the structured architecture of her multi-figure compositions, with a refined modernist sense of decorativeness.
