Alena Solomonova is a Slovenia-based visual artist working across photography, self-portraiture, and mixed media. Currently pursuing her studies at the Higher School of Photography in Slovenia, her practice examines identity as a fluid and unstable construct shaped by memory, time, and lived experience.

Working primarily with self-portraiture, Alena physically intervenes in printed photographs through collage, tearing, threads, glass, and organic materials, transforming the portrait into an object that carries traces of vulnerability, fragmentation, and reconstruction. Her work navigates the tension between visibility and concealment, often addressing themes of aging, femininity, and the instability of the self.

Alena’s work has been recognized internationally through awards, exhibitions, and publications, including the ND Awards 2025, Experimental Hub Barcelona, LensCulture Art Photography Awards 2026, and Lenscratch.
