Alona Vatkina

Alona Vatkina (Alena Attar) is an artist who creates unique abstract paintings using various techniques and acrylic. Her works reflect human emotions and feelings, whether it be joy or deep pain.
In her pieces, reality is expressed through abstraction, where the combination of colors becomes an emotional response, interacting with lines and strokes. Her paintings serve as a unique dialogue with the viewer, where colors and composition convey her feelings and emotions.
Alona began her journey in art at a young age but fully embraced herself as an artist after completing her bachelor's degree in architecture. She also gained valuable experience during her studies in Cambridge, where she visited art exhibitions and museums.
Currently based in Sweden, she finds inspiration in the architecture of Stockholm and the cultural landscape of Sweden, which often become the subjects of her work.
Alona believes that honesty with the audience is crucial in her art. For her, art is a means to evoke genuine emotions in the viewer, providing each person with the freedom of interpretation and self-expression.
