Icarus never flew, 2025 - oil on canvas

Alisa Efremova studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. Her multidisciplinary practice draws from literature, poetry, film, religion, and alchemy, combining intuitive processes with experimentation across painting and mixed media.

Guided by emotion rather than fixed concepts, her works evolve through layering, revision, and spontaneous gesture. Influenced by automatic drawing and ideas surrounding perception and the subconscious, Efremova approaches painting as an immersive process in which the work gradually develops its own autonomy.
