Aleona Rei
A Multifaceted Creative Visionary
Aleona Rei is a dynamic creative visionary, expertly working with diverse artistic media that enrich her profound journey of self-expression. With extensive experience in psychology and art therapy, she channels her knowledge into expressive photography, illuminating a path of deep introspection and empathy.
Born and raised in the cultural environment of St. Petersburg, Russia, Aleona’s education in philology and psychology forms the foundation of her artistic practice. Drawing on her professional insights, she weaves human experiences into her work, turning each photograph into an emotional odyssey.
Since 2010, she has lived on the island of Bali, Indonesia, and in 2023 she discovered new inspiration in Kyoto, Japan, where her projects are successfully realized. Living between two countries provides fresh creative opportunities.
For Aleona, art is more than a pursuit it is a way of life, an inexhaustible source of meaning and joy. Her creative process is intuitive and fluid, engaging in a profound dialogue with the world. The spontaneity of her approach uncovers unexplored emotions, inviting viewers to explore the depths of their own feelings.
As a psychotherapist, Aleona recognizes the therapeutic power of art. Like a skilled alchemist, she transforms emotions into evocative visual narratives that transcend cultural and social boundaries. Her work is both a self-exploration and an invitation for others to embark on their own transformative journeys.
