Coastal Escape II Painting

Alissa is a contemporary landscape artist, born in Seoul, Korea, and currently based in North Vancouver, Canada. Her semi-abstract acrylic works capture the tranquility of the West Coast, focusing on conveying her personal impressions of the landscapes rather than providing a literal or detailed representation. Through her subjective interpretation, she transforms the scenery into a collection of fragmented elements using color, shape, and texture. Alissa finds true calm and serenity in front of a canvas. In a world filled with anxiety and division, she hopes her work transports viewers to a place of peace. Each brushstroke is infused with intuitive, meditative energy, reflecting her deep connection to nature. Her paintings evoke a sense of wonder, drawing viewers into a quiet realm of stillness. Through her art, Alissa invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. She has extensive experience teaching painting and has showcased her artworks in numerous Juried Group exhibitions as well as in Solo Exhibitions across the North Shore and British Columbia. Her works can be found in private collections in Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, South Korea, Sweden, Australia, Italy and Greece. She has collaborated with Saatchi Art on hospitality projects in San Diego and Andalucía, New Mexico, USA. Her notable clients include Loblaws President's Choice and Samsung Frame TV.
