The Artist

Alisa Lis

Alisa Lis crafts towering flower sculptures using paper and textiles. 

Craft

Alisa starts her process by observing the flower's shape. Subsequently, she determines whether to utilize paper or textiles. The flower and petal shapes are then measured, cut, and adorned with textile paint. She primes the textile with a hardener and shapes the petals to help maintain their form. Metal frames are applied to the petals to provide structure, giving volume to the flowers. Following the creation of the flower, she fashions, colors, and shapes a stem. Ultimately, Alisa integrates the flower, stem, and in some cases, additional details to fashion a unified piece.The world boasts an abundance of flowers, each carrying unique significance to every individual. While some associate them with joy, others find in them a powerful reminder of sorrow. This inspiration is driving Alisa to craft her sculptures, enabling us all to immerse ourselves in the multitude of connections and emotions evoked by flowers.
