Born in 1995 in Ukraine, Mariya Aleksandrova is a visual artist whose photography intertwines the human body with nature. Fascinated by how bodies carry the marks of time, experience and environment, her work seeks to reveal the untold stories embedded in skin, movement, and form.
Through her lens, she seeks to embody the art of being seen. Inviting you to step into your authenticity, to honor both strength and fragility, and to discover beauty in the spaces where we allow ourselves to be fully visible.
Nature is a channelling force present in most of her work. The element of water, flows through her practice as a mirror of emotion and transformation. Whether immersed in rivers, framed by landscapes, or simply touched by natural light, her images echo a deep reverence for connection—between self, body and the surroundings.
Alma Crua means Raw Soul in Portuguese.
