Alice Máselníková b. 1989

Alice Máselníková works predominantly in oil paint, watercolour, and charcoal. With thin and translucent layers of colour she creates dreamlike images of mythologically inspired motifs: grotesque figures and elusive creatures, a metamorphosis between human and animal, that merge with the nature surrounding them. Her works carry traces of classical inspiration with references to medieval art and symbolism. In the muted palette of her works we find ourselves in a strange melancholic world, where the bizarre, beautiful and ambivalent intertwine.

Alice Máselníková (b. 1989, Zlín, Czech Republic) is a visual artist based in Edsbruk, Småland, Sweden.
