ALYENA MUNZAR

Alyena Munzar’s oil paintings explore portraiture and human figures set in nature, capturing her subjects’ facial expressions and connection to their surroundings. Her work suggests narratives of quietude, femininity, and how the figure responds to and becomes part of the environment. She strives for a timeless quality in her artwork through dynamic figure positioning, historically inspired clothing, and local landscapes. Her admiration of historical painting, including the Pre-Raphaelites, have inspired works that stylistically lay between Realism and Impressionism. Munzar particularly enjoys painting the curves and soft lines found in nature as well as faces, figures, hair, and fabric to create a sense of harmony and flow.
