A small, translucent creature drifts through deep blue water – barely there, more light than form. Wide eyes, a curled tail, something between a mermaid and a deep-sea thing that has never been named. Delicate and slightly otherworldly. Digital illustration.

About Me

Alina Khafizova is a twenty-one-year-old artist born in Asha, Chelyabinsk Region, Russia. Working under the name PaintLine, she creates across traditional and digital media – gouache, pencil, and digital illustration, as well as animation. Her practice spans still life, animal subjects, fantasy, and figurative work, with each medium chosen to serve the image rather than the other way around.

Her work received recognition from international juried platforms such as TERAVARNA, LightSpaceTime, and Fusion Art, with pieces awarded and exhibited, including showcases at Golden Duck Gallery in Budapest and Seattle Art Fair at Lumen Field Event Center.
