ALEKSANDRA CHEREPANOVA

ARTIST STATEMENT:

I create large-scale contemporary paintings that explore the complex role of women in modern society. My work delves into themes of femininity, family dynamics, societal expectations, and the workplace, often through the lens of nudes and erotica. In my life I have changed the society around me several times and along with this the role of women has changed dramatically. That is why I want to share these thoughts with others.
