Alina Kvashenko is a fine artist with an academic background in Art History, Theory of Art, and Academic Drawing/Painting. Throughout her artistic journey, she has explored a wide range of techniques and styles — from traditional classical drawing and painting to abstract approaches. Her work has been exhibited in several prominent Ukrainian exhibitions under the curatorship of the Ukrainian National Artists Union.

In recent years, she has drawn inspiration from her surroundings in the south of France, where she studies the local environment, people, and culture through sketches and plein air practice. Her focus has shifted toward capturing the subtle nuances of everyday life using an academic realist approach. Through these studies, she seeks to reveal the hidden beauty in the ordinary, filtered through her personal experience of the vibrant and colorful region of Provence.
