Biography
About Alisa Gafur
Self taught. Originally trained as an optometrist in NYC, I also worked as a fashion stylist through school. This is where I began to get interested in photography, colour theory and the use of dimension and optics. The artwork started out as a photograph where I use light, shadow and colour to create an image, I then use layering of acetate and resin to add dimension to create a sculpture out of a photograph.
