Alise Medina

Latvia - born in 1984

In Alice's works, a partial interpretation of what is seen, felt and experienced in nature lies on the canvas. Alise adores the sun and often its presence is enhanced in her work.

"I am interested in the play of lights found in nature, the deep dimension, the different moods and the variability of nature. Although the landscape genre is not popular in today's "hypermodern" environment of artists, in my opinion, it can embody and represent this era more than others. Therefore, this is a contemporary art direction."
