My name is Ala Botnarescu, known on Instagram as @abstract_alunna. Originally from Moldova, I’m a graphic and web designer by profession, but my true passion has always been art — a love that began in childhood and grows stronger every day.
I explore abstract forms, psychological themes, and natural elements using a variety of techniques and materials: acrylic and oil paints, ink and gel pens, and resin combined with natural objects like wood and flowers.
Since I opened my studio-gallery in Scheidegg in summer 2024, my focus has been fully on creating art. I invite art lovers to visit and discover my evolving portfolio, which reflects my deep emotions and personal themes.
Since 2022, I have been a member of the Künstlerkreis Oberstaufen, marking the beginning of sharing my work with a wider audience.

How do you assess the artist’s technique (in terms of colours, shapes, texture, and size)? What are your thoughts on the used material, medium, and process?
Studio Rö: Ala’s palette is eclectic, but perhaps go a little deeper into geometric shapes if you feel comfortable with this technique. If you like to explore different styles, you can, but you have to think in series.
What are the artist’s strengths?
Studio Rö: Her ability to explore different styles without worrying about the figurative aspect, but instead exploring the conceptual aspect.
Which is your favorite artwork and why?
Studio Rö: I like High ego most, because I love exploring traumas, fears, symbolism and the human condition, but it’s very personal and subjective – in this painting I feel that the artist has put a part of his soul into it.
What should they improve on or stop doing in general?
Studio Rö: I wouldn’t recommend stopping anything, but rather exploring and refining your style and what you want to communicate to the world – Art is very personal, we have to feel it in your work, we have to feel a strong emotion.
