An Artistic Reunion: Alena Lavdovskaya’s Creative Journey Returns to Milaidhoo
This September, Milaidhoo Maldives, the luxury boutique island set within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is proud to welcome back renowned fashion illustrator Alena Lavdovskaya for her second creative residency, taking place from 22nd to 29th September 2025.
Following her celebrated debut, Alena’s return marks a new chapter where artistic exploration meets the tranquillity of island life. Known for her evocative, high-fashion illustrations gracing the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and InStyle, Alena brings with her over 20 years of experience capturing the essence of elegance through her signature style. Her career spans collaborations with leading fashion houses, luxury hotels, and global celebrities—making her a true icon in the world of couture illustration.
During her week-long residency, Alena will host two exclusive Group Art Masterclasses, open to both seasoned artists and curious beginners. Guided by Alena’s expert eye, guests will learn to express the vibrant soul of the Maldives—its marine life, island rhythms, and serene beauty—through expressive brushstrokes and sophisticated form.
“Milaidhoo is a haven for the senses,” says Alena. “The light, the colours, the stillness—it’s like stepping into a living painting. I’m delighted to return and help guests unlock their own artistic expression in such a magical place.”
Each session will take place in a serene, open-air setting where participants are invited to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with creativity, and with themselves. The inspiration? The gentle sway of the palms, the rhythm of the bodu beru, the elegance of island moments frozen in time.
