Works
Alyona Azernaya is a painter of naïve style.[3]
Through her representational and dreamlike compositions she describes a personal world,[4] where are mixed slavic mythology, russian traditional tales and biblical narratives. She associates a naïve drawing with a very big control of colors and motives[5]. These deep and generous colors are just like the nature which surrounds her and which soaks the majority of her paintings. They are also widely inspired by colors used in the Russian tradition from the inside of the peasant houses, to icones which decorate churches.
