Alisa Semenova Painter Russia 1997

Alisa Semenova, born in 1997 in Tchaikovsky, Perm region, Russia, has emerged as a significant figure in the contemporary art scene. Her journey into the world of art began in 2013, and by 2017, she had enrolled in the prestigious Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg, where she honed her skills and developed her unique artistic voice. Graduating in 2023 with a diploma painting titled “Prayer,” Alisa’s work reflects a blend of traditional techniques and a loose impressionistic style, particularly evident in her captivating female portraits, which exude subtlety and charm.
Throughout her academic career, Alisa received high praise for her talent and dedication. She remarked on her educational experience, saying, “The education system at the academy is quite complicated: during the first three years, your teachers change, and you have different teachers in two disciplines: oil painting and drawing. Although the academy of arts adheres to traditions in general, every teacher is also an artist with his own vision and methods, and it affects your work and style. I think I just tried to do my best to get closer to masters, to improve my skills and knowledge. I can’t say that I was very focused on my style, but on the quality of my works in terms of the academy requirements. But, of course, when you work hard and try different ways, one day you discover what gives you the desired result. And I think it is gradually shaping your style.”
Since her graduation, Alisa has been in high demand, receiving multiple job offers from various countries. She has conducted over 30 drawing and painting master classes, attracting up to 70 participants at a time, demonstrating her commitment to sharing her knowledge and passion for art.
