Polina Apolinarias

I am a Prague-based artist with a background in illustration and graphic design.

My experience as an illustrator and designer has shaped the way I paint. I work with bold colors, strong outlines, stylized figures, and geometric compositions, bringing a graphic sensibility to traditional painting.

My work brings together decorative art and storytelling. Each painting begins with an idea, observation, or personal story, which I translate into my own visual language.
