Alina Kunitsyna

Alina Kunitsyna was born 1981 in Belarus, lives and works in Vienna and Damtschach, Austria. She studied at Lycee of Art, Minsk and the University of Art and Design, Linz, graduating from the Academy of fine Arts, Vienna in 2007. Whilst Alina Kunitsyna was at Art lyceum in Minsk she spent her years extensively studying the still lives of the Renaissance period, both the theoretical and practical. These artworks contained precious objects like orthodox garments, ancient decanters or featured the vanitas motifs. The imitation of this époque made an experience that laid the foundation for her skillset. Today Alina seeks her inspiration in current pop culture, everyday life and art history but always in the context of capricious jokes and allegories that capture the confusion of life. There is a special attention and love to detail and this willingness to refine the common things in life.
