Alina Kovalova:
Embody
Alina Kovalova is a self-taught artist, born in Ukraine and living in Slovenia for the past three years. Her relocation marked a period of introspection and personal transformation, becoming a catalyst for expressing life through art.
Color and texture guide her exploration of memory, emotion, and presence. The female body appears in her work not as an object, but as a field of energy, vitality, and transformation. Her figures carry both strength and quiet vulnerability, reflecting cycles of beginning and ending, growth, and inward reflection.
As a rehabilitative physical therapist and energy practitioner, Alina brings a nuanced understanding of the body, emotion, and consciousness into her artistic practice. This lived experience gives her work a subtle depth that resonates beyond the visible surface.
There are few real things left in the age of technology — things that we can feel, touch, and truly perceive.
How happy we could become to find something deeply moving in the outside world.
