Biography

Self-taught Melbourne-based artist, Donina Asera, has been honing her eye from an early age while she watched her grandfather paint still-lifes and landscapes in his studio. While she has always drawn, Donina has also experimented in photography (digital and large-format film), and various forms of printmaking.

She began painting on canvases in late 2018 and in March 2020 during lockdown, felt that her style had reached a sufficient maturity to make them publicly available.

Donina has since been selected for the juried Art2Life International Art Exhibition in 2020, selected as a finalist of the Artlovers Australia 2021 Art Prize, and a finalist of the Art to Art 2021 Unearthed Art Prize.
