Artworks by Alena Sokolova

Alena Sokolova is a contemporary painter based in Boston. Her practice bridges classical oil painting with post-digital aesthetics, examining the tension between material tradition and contemporary visual culture.

Through detailed studies of botanical forms, from full bloom to decay, she explores transformation, impermanence, and the fragile equilibrium between states. She integrates glazing, mixed media, and metallic leaf with graphic structures that reference the visual language of the digital age, and in selected works extends the painted surface through Augmented Reality, where static botanical forms come to life, creating a dialogue between the living and the inanimate, organic nature and algorithmic logic.

A member of the SoWa Artists Studios in Boston, she has exhibited across the United States and internationally, and her work is held in private collections in the US, UK, Russia, and Europe.
