In the vibrant realm of artisanal jewelry, Alisa Laryushkina, also known as Liskaflower, emerges as a beacon of creativity with her exceptional use of Japanese polymer clay. Blossoming from a fascination with florals, her initial creations mimicked intricate flower shapes, which soon gave way to a kaleidoscopic array of folded patterns reminiscent of rose petals in full bloom. In each piece, Laryushkina captures the elegance of nature, a spectrum of color as bold and varied as life itself. Her pieces are not mere accessories; they are wearable art that tells stories, each one echoing the delicate artistry found in natural landscapes. By combining her Russian heritage with Japanese influences, she bridges cultures through an artistic dialogue bound by texture and hue, captivating the hearts of those who appreciate the fusion of traditional techniques with innovative flair.
Taking her artistic journey further, Laryushkina has expanded her polymer clay representations to encompass the animal kingdom and pop-culture icons, adding a fresh and playful twist to her work. Each piece is an imaginative exploration of form, with creatures seemingly poised to leap from the canvas and into reality, adorned with patterns that captivate and intrigue. Her animal figures exude charm and character, their vibrant colors and meticulous details bringing them to life. Meanwhile, her pop-culture renditions offer a nostalgic nod to recognizable icons, reimagined through her unique artistic lens. Through this evolution, Laryushkina’s work not only showcases her technical prowess but also reflects her boundless creativity, daring viewers to see the world through her colorful, textured vision, one fold at a time.
I love Japanese polymer clay and at first, I’ve been creating flowers. Gradually I came up with my own style of jewelry. I curl each pattern with my hands, then many many pieces add up to a greater whole. Basically, I make different animals, birds and cute things. Especially I love to make cute and funny animals.
