Elen Alien

Elen Alien (b. 1990, Ukraine) is a full-time professional artist traveling and exhibiting around the globe. In her works, she combines elements of different times and cultural communities, thus pointing to the absence of the need for separation, and labeling, and to the fact that together all people and nature form a common organism. The art of Elen Alien expresses the unity of the sacred, natural, and aesthetic, in their striving for a common goal. Her research unfolds at the points of contact between nature and humans, again addressing questions that people have tried in vain for centuries to find answers to with the help of science and technology. Combining the flowers' tenderness and the epoxy resin's hardness, she reveals the ambivalence of life. In her artistic practice, the artist tries to preserve forever the elusive beauty of the moment contrasting art with digital immortality. Currently, she lives and works in her studio in Oslo.
