Aliona Koroliova works in the field of abstract painting, exploring inner human states through color, rhythm, and texture. Her works do not depict the external world, but rather evoke its sensations — silence, tension, movement, and pause that arise within. In her practice, the artist works with layering, combining transparent and dense layers of paint. Through this process, she creates a space where forms appear and dissolve, leaving only a trace of experience. Color in her work functions as a language — intuitive, free from direct meaning, yet capable of evoking a deep emotional response. The central themes of her work are silence as an inner state, presence in the moment, and the interaction between the visible and the invisible. Her paintings do not have a fixed narrative — they remain open to the viewer’s personal experience, inviting contemplation and inner dialogue. Aliona Koroliova works with acrylic and oil, favoring painting as a process of exploration rather than fixation. Her practice is shaped by a continuous search for balance between control and spontaneity, structure and freedom. She lives and works in Kyiv, Ukraine.
