Aljona Asjornaja is a naive style painter.

Through her dramatic and dreamlike compositions, she describes a personal world in which Slavic mythology, Russian traditional fairy tales and biblical stories are mixed. She unites the naive drawing with her mastery of colors and motifs. They are also very much inspired by the colors used in the Russian tradition inside farmhouses to icons that adorn churches.
