AlisaLimited edition print Paper Print 
by Vera Stein

Inspired by Alice from Alice in Wonderland, sitting in the passage that leads to the secret garden.

This expressive acrylic painting portrays Alisa, a dreamlike interpretation of Alice caught between reality and imagination. Seated on a flowing, curvilinear form, she appears contemplative and withdrawn, her gaze lowered as if lost in thought. Behind her rises a tall Gothic window or doorway, suggesting the mysterious passage that, in Alice in Wonderland, leads to the enchanted garden.

The composition is dominated by deep shades of blue and violet, creating an atmosphere of mystery, solitude, and quiet anticipation. Alisa's pale hair and softly illuminated figure emerge from the darkness, drawing the viewer's attention to her emotional presence. The loose brushwork and expressive lines blur the boundaries between the physical and the imaginary, evoking the surreal world of Wonderland.

Rather than depicting a specific scene, the painting captures a moment of transition - a threshold between confinement and freedom, uncertainty and discovery. Alisa appears to be waiting, reflecting, or perhaps gathering the courage to enter the garden beyond, a symbol of curiosity, transformation, and hidden possibilities.
