About Alena Mukhina
"I am interested in human self-identification, all about the problem of human transformation, studying it as a complex multidimensional phenomenon."
 
"I find it to be crucial to tackle this matter in order to normalize the discussion about this issue within the art context and beyond it. Since 2019 I have been working on the project “There's a reason I’m here“, where I aim to lead the viewer through the process of overcoming the crisis, talking openly about the matter and interacting with young mothers going through postpartum depression. The project was shown during a solo exhibition «There's a reason I'm here» in 2022."
 
“London raw clay project” happened in 2023 . Objects are made of wild, unfired clay excavated during the construction of HS2- high-speed railway line in England. By showing unfired ceramic objects I draw attention to the imminent connection between the spirit of a place and the UK's most gigantic transport network project nowadays."
 
"Ness' project explores the transformation of adjectives into nouns — of feelings into matter, and essence into form."
 
Alena Mukhina is a 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.
