Alena Kuschnereit is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Germany. Her practice moves between painting, printmaking and textile, combining acrylic and oil painting with embroidery, textile collage, linocut and experimental handmade techniques.

At the heart of her work is the transformation of female identity. She explores the tension between women’s growing freedom and the traditional roles, expectations and invisible limitations that continue to shape their lives. Drawing from personal experiences of migration, integration, motherhood and self-realisation, her work reflects on memory, belonging, the body, choice and inner transformation.

Material is an essential part of her artistic language. Fabric, thread, stitches, pigment, paper and layered surfaces become carriers of memory and meaning rather than mere decorative elements.

Working primarily in series, Kuschnereit develops each body of work through different materials and visual strategies. Her works have been presented at international contemporary art fairs in Dubai, Ankara and Paris, and in exhibitions in Germany, London and Paris.

Her work is held in private collections in Russia, France, Spain, the USA and Belgium, as well as in a private museum collection in Greece.

Based in Lower Saxony, Germany.
