Artist statement
Aamaterra is an artist based in Berlin, she identifies herself as a citizen of the planet — an Earthling.
Using a diverse range of mediums, Aamaterra creates artifacts. Aamaterra's artistic style is predominantly abstract, characterized by strong contrasts, neon, vibrant and reflective colours, and fine lines. The central motif woven throughout Aamaterra's creations is finding inner balance and awakening of consciousness, body, inner potential, creative power, and true authentic self. Aamaterra believes that by expanding and transcending the boundaries and limitations of one's personal self, individuals nurture and collaboratively shape the collective.
Aamaterra's main source of inspiration is life itself. For her, being fulfilled with energy, being alive, and the opportunity to experience life through having a collaboration of body, mind and soul, and ability to navigate that throughout life is imbued with inspiration every second of the precious time.

Body painting at SOMA, a closed nude fluoro body art bass (somatik techno) music party.
Main idea of Aamaterra's body art was built around the concept of chakras. Chakras are energy centers within the body that are believed to correspond to different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. There are seven main chakras, each located at a different point along the spinal column, where Aamaterra painted them.
During SOMA Aamaterra suggested those, whom she painted, to participate in the ritual: concentrate their Energy on those chakras which they want to develop, so she added some accents to these points.
The participants could also choose the color and some additional elements of the body art. So, every body art turned out to be unique as well as the Human who carried it.

Charity art for Kindeswohl Berlin
Together with amazing artist Vera Kochubey and talented Jimidaboy, we have transformed a space with our art for Kindeswohl Berlin, non-profit organization that provides support and shelter for children in need, with orientation on inclusion, commitment to the implementation of children’s rights, and meaningful and fulfilled life in society.
The initiator and lead artist Vera Kochubey, kindly offered me to participate in the project and paint some walls of the future home for children in my style.
I deeply believe in the power of art. Each of us painted with positive intentions, hoping to awaken love and light in this house.

Why Aamaterra?
Aamaterra believes that a name is very important for our human experience. Her birth name, Alëna, means "sunshine" or "sunlight". After experiencing the beginning of her spiritual awakening, Alëna felt a need for a new name that would align with her worldview. Additionally, she loves to play with languages and meanings of words. She implements this practice in her artworks when giving names to the artifacts. So, here appears Aamaterra, which combines meanings such as power, love, mother, matter, earth, era, Ra (ancient Egyptian sun god), Amaterasu (Shinto sun goddess).
Yoga, spirituality, workshops
Alëna Aamaterra is a yogi. She believes that maintaining healthy relationships and aligning with the body contribute to the development of the mind and consciousness. In 2024, Alëna completes a yoga teacher training (Ashtanga/Hatha) at the Oceanic Yoga Ashram in Goa, India.
In addition to delving deep within, Aamaterra enriches the external, manifested world by organizing exhibitions, events, and workshops to share with fellow human beings. Now she offers two workshops: Artifact workshop and Lila game workshop.
