Alina Pivnenko

Alina Pivnenko, born in Kyiv, is a self-taught collage artist who “paints” with meticulously hand-cut fragments from magazines, crafting her visions through thousands of hours in her studio. She creates large-scale images by layering tiny paper pieces, blending elements of nostalgia and iconic imagery through a slow, meditative process rooted in patience. Her work pulsates with quiet honesty, aiming to pierce the superficial and reveal the deep, complex emotions that lie beneath society’s labels and expectations, offering viewers an invitation to pause and discover authentic humanity.
