Aletta Ren was a writer who started to draw in 2019, the senior year of her BFA study. She is currently pursuing an Illustration MFA in the College of Visual Performance Art.
Aletta’s works are influenced by Russian, Chinese, and German literature, impressionism, and ink drawing. Her works mainly take “love, war, and parting” as the theme. She narrates and criticizes the eccentric ordinary and admires the wispy line between different emotions.
