Born in Binzhou City, Shandong Province, China, Alisa was born into an art family. Whenvery young, her grandfather taught her how to write calligraphy and draw traditional Chinese paintings. She has since been very interested in art and also passionate about performing.
In 2016, Xu's family immigrated to Perth, and even though it was a completely different environment for her, Alisa never gave up painting. She obtained a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in 2021. In the process of exploring university disciplines and life, she gradually became fascinated by moving image and performance art. Xu believes that both disciplines can effectively combine her passion for performance and painting. Therefore, she is a multi-media artist.
