Lea Alstad (b. 2000) is a young Norwegian contemporary artist.
In her paintings, she explores the complexity of the human being, portraying both face and body. Her body paintings are inspired by anatomical drawings, where she captures muscle fibers and contours using brushstrokes and colors. In her portraits, she works layer upon layer with various media, including acrylic, oil, ink, and watercolor. This creates a variation in texture and a blend of abstraction and realism. Several of her paintings leave parts to the imaginary, which also gives the feeling of getting "under the skin."
