“to help people, to make them feel heard, and to give solace.”
alina is a german, london based fine artist working almost entirely in dry media, predominantly charcoal.
her work explores moments of tenderness and care in a fleeting and desperately fast-moving world, with a strong relationship to animals and nature. drawing from personal experience and memory, she wants to invite the viewer to reflect on their own memories and cogitate their perception and stance to anything they surround themselves with, opening a window into the quiet observation and contemplation of deep care, love and loss.
a meditation on the longing for active participation in our environment and the feeling of passiveness stemming from our disconnection to the natural world, it lies at the heart of her practice to help people, to make them feel heard, and to give solace.
alina studied Illustration at camberwell college of art before joining the postgraduate programme “the drawing year” at the acclaimed royal drawing school in shoreditch.
She is part of represented artists of AGB Emerging at Alice Black Gallery.
