Alissha Davis
The Process

An alchemical practice.

In Alissha's practice there is an ancient magic, a quiet, witchy essence that fuels each stroke and swirl of color. Painting is not decoration here; it is an alchemical process where intuition and energy converge into something that lives beyond the physical.

Ritual

A dialogue with the spirit realm.

As an empath and channel, Alissha experiences her work as an ongoing conversation with the unseen. Meditation, breathwork and oracle cards prepare the space; ritual sets the intention. The paint follows.

Colors move and shift under the influence of higher energies, an ethereal dance of intention that gives each piece its distinct emotional tone.

Material

Whipped, poured, coaxed, layered.

Acrylic is whipped into a lava-like body that carries metallic and pearl pigments deep into the surface. A mix of flow medium and water is worked into the drying paint to distress and open it, creating the marbled and textured passages that define pieces like Aeracura's Petals.

Gold, copper, rose gold, pearl white and interference pigments are layered so the finished painting shifts with the light of the room, revealing itself slowly across the day.

The Sequence

From intention to finished surface.

  1. 01
    Ground

    The space is cleared. Breathwork and meditation set the state; oracle cards or a specific intention frame what the piece is for.

  2. 02
    Mix

    Acrylic is whipped into a lava-like body. Metallic, pearl and interference pigments are chosen for the palette the piece is asking for.

  3. 03
    Pour

    Color meets canvas. Pigments are guided rather than controlled, they meet, resist and evolve into the composition.

  4. 04
    Coax

    Flow medium and water are worked across the surface, canvases tilted, marks made and unmade until the surface holds the intended feeling.

  5. 05
    Rest

    The work is left to dry undisturbed, often several days, while the metallic layers settle and start to catch light.

Materials

Acrylic, metallic pigments (gold, copper, rose gold, silver), pearl and interference mediums, custom color blends.

Method

Fluid, whipped, poured and coaxed with flow medium and water, a layered application that allows pigments to move on their own terms.

Light

Metallic and pearl layers respond to natural and artificial light, giving each work a dynamic quality that cannot be fully captured in a photograph.
