Collection: Alexandra Kalinina

The artistic journey began from early years in a hometown, surrounded by the serene landscapes, lakes and rivers. There I discovered my love for painting water and playing with reflections. Through various art schools, I gradually built upon my skills.

Driven by a passion for art, I pursued further education at the Stieglitz Academy of Art and Design in Saint Petersburg, where I spent six years immersed in the study of different artistic techniques, styles and conservation science.

Seeking to expand my knowledge, I pursued a second master's degree focused on the conservation of easel paintings. During this time, I had the opportunity to travel across Europe, gaining insights into different cultures and artistic traditions.

From the first visit in 2017 I felt a special connection with Lisbon, I've been drawn by the radiant light, historical heritage. Through the knowledge of language and professional activitie bond I decided to stay in Lisbon.

In my paintings I seek to capture the essence of fleeting moments, inviting to pause, reflect on illuminated details that are infusing the space with serenity and tranquility.
