"Always" Painting

I'm Alina—a part-time architect and full-time creative spirit with a deep love for both abstract painting and architectural sketching. My journey into the world of art and design began at the School of Arts, where I completed a four-year program in just two, driven by a strong passion for exploring visual expression. I then continued my studies at the University of Architecture, where I delved even deeper into the fascinating relationship between structure and creativity. These formative experiences helped shape the unique blend of artistic intuition and architectural understanding that now defines my work. When I’m not immersed in architectural projects, you’ll most likely find me with a brush or pen in hand, creating original pieces that span a wide emotional and visual range—from bold, colourful abstractions that spark energy and curiosity, to calm, minimalist compositions that bring a sense of quiet beauty. I also have a special place in my heart for ink-on-paper architectural sketches. These pieces allow me to express my admiration for the built environment through detailed and expressive linework, capturing the essence of both real and imagined spaces. My artwork is available as original pieces designed to add a touch of magic, character, and inspiration to any home or workspace. I occasionally showcase my work at local exhibitions and events around Berkshire and Hampshire, and I'm always open to new opportunities to share my creative vision. Blending my love for both art and architecture continues to be a rewarding and evolving journey, and I’m excited to see where it takes me next.
