Alessa Grande is an Austrian artist who is based in Salzburg, where she mainly expresses her creativity through photography. She studied cultural sociology and finished her studies with Master of Arts in Jena, Germany.

​

Alessa’s photography captures people in an intimate, close-up and nude state, in natural settings. By embracing nudity in her work, she aims to reveal an unfiltered, authentic view of her subjects, challenging society’s standards and expectations. Her focus on portraiture allows her to explore each person’s individuality, striving to capture their most genuine selves. Central to her work is the theme of self-acceptance, encouraging people to embrace who they truly are.

​

For Alessa, creating art is a deeply personal process. Her creative space is more a state of mind than a physical place; she believes that achieving harmony between mind, body, and spirit is essential for inspiration. She thrives in calm, quiet environments that allow for deep concentration, while also drawing on a passionate inner drive to fuel her work. This combination of calm and intensity shapes her unique approach to photography.

Through her photography, Alessa creates a powerful space for self-acceptance, vulnerability, and genuine human connection.
