Artist & Filmmaker · Orkney, Scotland
Alona Petliarska is an artist and filmmaker based in Orkney, Scotland. With a background in choreography, her practice moves between painting, drawing, moving image and performance.
Her work explores memory, identity, transformation and the relationship between the body and its environment. Folklore, landscape and personal experience often become starting points for images and stories that sit somewhere between the real and the imagined.
Movement remains at the centre of her practice — sometimes through the body itself, sometimes through the rhythm of a film, and sometimes through a gesture held still inside a painting.
Film projects shaped by movement, rhythm and the body.
Alona took part in the sound and Citymoves collaborative workshop, led by Bill Thompson and Penny Chivas.
