Acrylic paint and oil sticks on canvas.

This artwork is part of a Collaboration Collection with my son.
It started quite unexpectedly. One day, I was in my studio with my son, feeling stuck and unmotivated as I worked on a canvas. He asked if he could add something, and I said, “why not?” Watching him paint so freely and playfully was incredibly inspiring. To join in his world, I began painting imaginary creatures with my left hand, letting go of control so the marks would feel more childlike and spontaneous. That moment became the beginning of our Collaboration Collection. Together we create pieces that are playful, layered, and full of energy.

I’m Alina — a multidisciplinary artist painting abstracts, portraits, and nudes. I create pieces that feel alive with movement and energy, using splashes, drips, and layered textures as my way of expressing motion on the canvas.

Drawing inspiration from abstract expressionism and modern street art, I focus on tone, gesture, and markings to bring each piece to life.

I love working on oversized canvases that make a bold impact in a space, and I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the best interior designers in Australia.

In 2025, I was featured on the reality TV series Portrait Artist of the Year, streaming on ABC iview, where my portrait was chosen by the sitter and I was selected as one of the top three artists of the episode. Since 2019, I’ve sold over 800 original artworks to collectors across Australia and around the world.
