Aleksandra Povelikina

Digital artist
Digital artist from Russia, currently in emigration. In 2022 you can see my artworks at the Molbert Art Gallery (St. Petersburg, Russia) and Boomer Gallery (London, The UK).

During studies at the Faculty of Philology, became interested in social problems and self-awareness of a person, as well as the femdom agenda, which would later often appear in my works.

In 2020 I graduated from university and concentrated on work as a freelance graphic designer and digital artist.

My works

Forbidden physiology, 2021
The series consists of three paintings that are devoted to the ban on the demonstration of female physiology in Russia. In all works, metaphors are conveyed through everyday images. They convey issues such as forcibly instilling in women ideas about the importance of motherhood and mandatory breastfeeding, the denial of a woman's physiological needs, and the taboo on menstruation.
Russian woman’s face, 2022

The series of artworks depicting the hands of real women with different stories. The names have been changed to original Russian female names, meaning faith, hope and love. The last pair of hands belongs to the author, as awareness of herself among Russian women with a difficult fate.


It conveys the impersonality of women and their voices in Russia. Captions give comments about the life and fate of those faces that you do not see. The described plots have something in common with the four elements. This highlights an important point: the force that a woman has to resist is not individual, but all-encompassing.
Taste, 2020
A diptych is an abstract graphical representation of two sensations: Anticipation and Impression. These works embody the transience of the present and the ephemerality of sensations in the moment, and for the most part the existence of only feelings before and after.
Individual artworks
I do not limit myself to themes and style and open to experiments. I insist that classical themes in art can be conveyed through modern forms.

For example, for the painting "Censored" I was inspired by the image of The Venus of Willendorf or a painting of Oedipus is a representation of a myth in a modern form, more precisely in the format of a standard movie poster for horror films. Thus, the archaic plot is approaching the present. Myths are still alive in the minds of people, and television (cinema, advertising) is one of their main creators.
