Alice Máselníková (b. 1989, Zlín, Czech Republic) is a visual artist based in Stockholm. Myths, dreams, bodies and nature intertwine in her work to capture a fleeting moment, intimacy of touch and strange subtleties of the soul. But above all there is melancholy, shrouding the bizarre, grotesque and ambivalent in life as a part of our striving for beauty.

She holds a BA (Hons) in Art and Philosophy from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Arts and Design, Dundee; MA in Curating Art from Stockholm University; studied Fine Art at Universidad Politécnica de Valencia and attended a semester course at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Máselníková has exhibited in a number of solo and group exhibitions and is represented in several private and public collections in Sweden and internationally.

Aside from her painting practice she writes poetry. She is one of the three creative directors of Supermarket – Stockholm Independent Art Fair, founder of the artist-run initiative Flat Octopus, project leader of Artist-Run Network Europe, and also works as a freelance editor and cultural funding consultant.
