A still life of humble kitchen objects – a glass bottle, a jar of pickles, garlic, an onion, a small pot, and a bunch of dried chili peppers hanging above. Cool blue drapery meets warm green cloth. Everyday ingredients arranged with the quiet dignity of a proper meal. Gouache on paper.

About Me

Alina Khafizova is a twenty-one-year-old artist from 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.

Khafizova began receiving recognition in 2022, winning first place in a regional poster competition. In 2026 she stepped onto the international stage: her work was selected for exhibitions at Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery, Fusion Art, and TERAVARNA, where she received an Honorable Mention for three gouache works, with seven additional pieces advancing to the finalist round.
