Born 1983 in Poliske in the Kyiv region, Ukraine. She lives and works in Boyarka in the Kyiv region. Kopitsya received her diploma in graphic arts from the National Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Since 2008 she has been working in upcycling art and participated in the International Recycling Art Festival of Catalonia, Barcelona, and the On the Street festival in Istanbul.
Gender relations, sexual behaviour and fetishism are subjects of the textiles, sculptures and performances of Alina Kopitsya. With an uncomplicated, humoristic approach her provocative work addresses social taboos, unveiling the possibility of a passionate sexual drive free from gender-political relations and social expectations
