English Woman

Aliya lives and works in Munich, Germany. In 2011 she graduated from the Academy of Arts in Lviv, Ukraine, with a master's degree. She slowly discovered abstract and linear art on her own after becoming a mother and this preference for abstraction in her art has been growing ever since. This evolution in her work is rooted in Aliya's belief that even life is easier to understand in an abstract way. This means that her thought process must be to successfully omit all irrelevant details and thus get to the heart of something more general and simple.With the desire to put her feelings on canvas, she transforms the invisible into something visible and tangible. This artistic progression has helped her to finally free herself from her academic work.Aliya works mainly on traditional media such as canvas and paper for her paintings and drawings.
