This artist from Gothenburg, Sweden, creates the most mesmerizing art pieces using polymer air-dry clay. The works of Alisa Lariushkina are inspired by famous painters such as Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh. Alisa creates landscapes, animals, flowers, and other objects out of Japanese air-dry clay. You’d be surprised to learn that Alisa is a self-taught artist, given the caliber of her work. She has been using her own technique to work with air-dry polymer clay for about six years.

“I form each piece of clay with my hands and then glue the pieces together,” she explains to Modern Met. “I make animal-themed figures and ornaments, and I’ve recently started making framed landscapes.” Instead of strokes on a flat canvas, Alisa shapes colorful polymer pieces into wavy and swirling lines with her sculpting tools. She then combines these elements to create a dense, textured layout.

Her framed landscapes are inspired by well-known paintings. The remainder are her original designs inspired by nature and photography. Alisa has a unique ability to transform real-life scenery into textured dreamscapes. She recreates outdoor settings in her signature style, where clouds are solid white dollops and flowers are clay coils. This artist regularly shares her art and how she creates it on Instagram, and her fans can’t get enough of her brilliance. Here are some of their responses to her posts.

“You are stunning, Alisa!! I’ve never seen anything like this before, and I adore your process videos; they’re so soothing to watch.” “I came across your page yesterday and I am in awe of your work; it is ALL simply breathtaking.” “I absolutely adore your technique and concept on your pieces!!” Fortunately, you can own one (or more) of these stunning creations.

Alisa’s artworks can be purchased through her Etsy shop. In a recent platform announcement, she stated that she tries to update her shop with at least one new landscape per month. Alisa’s schedule is jam-packed right now because she is working on custom orders. So, if you want one, you’ll have to wait until July.

“If you’d like something similar to my previous works and request a custom order, please come in July,” she wrote. Because of the volume of work and the fact that I’ll be moving soon, I recommend that everyone come in July! Thank you so much!!” See more of Alisa’s beautiful clay art in the gallery below.
