Artist name Alesya Shapsig
Visual artist and Textile Designer Based in Rotterdam, NL. I am a visual artist with international experience across the world, which has profoundly shaped my creative vision. My work combines traditional and modern techniques, utilizing mixed media, acrylic paints, and collages to create unique textures and dynamic lines.
I specialize in textile paintings, incorporating both ancient and contemporary materials like batik. Global events and human emotions deeply influence my art, with a strong focus on preserving the cultures of small nations, particularly those of the Caucasus region. My work reinterprets Circassian heritage, transforming ancient forms and ornaments into visual 'scripts' that carry the collective memory of my people.
My artworks are represented in private collections across the USA, Canada, Russia, Japan, and Europe, affirming their universal appeal and resonance with diverse audiences.
