About
Alena Mukhina is a UK-based ceramic artist, specializing on highly- textured ceramic sculptures. Her objects combine biomorphic forms with complex multi-layered surfaces. Praising the material of ceramics she uses non traditional techniques to avoid texture overlap and stay with deep natural colors of clay itself.
Born in USSR, Alena received a degree in architecture, but very soon started to work with ceramics and has undertaken a number of workshops, and continues her education at the Joseph Backstein Institute of Contemporary Art. The artist’s focus revolves around human self-identity, aging, migration, and the multifaceted aspects of human transformation, viewing it as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon.
