Aliya Abs
Painting
b. Kharkiw, Ukraine
Lives & Works in Munich Germany
After becoming a mother, Aliya Abs slowly discovered reduced and linear art for herself, and this preference for contemporary art has been increasing ever since. This development in her work is rooted in Aliya's belief that life itself is easier to understand in a simple form. Abs expresses herself and her feelings through an unmistakable merging between love and melancholy. Often in the form of figures, portraits, and still lifes.
