Alina Zamanova: On Art Born in War

Listen on

The guest of this episode is Alina Zamanova, an artist with international experience whose practice evolves at the intersection of painting, embodiment, and a deep reflection on war. In this conversation, we discuss her journey from Kryvyi Rih to London, her internship at McQueen, her return to Ukraine, and a conscious shift from the fashion industry to fine art.

Alina shares her experience working with oil painting without formal academic training, exhibiting in Europe, participating in residencies, creating projects about children of war, experimenting with sculpture, and developing a series of self-portraits made from Ukrainian soil. This episode is about identity after February 24, the responsibility of the artist, time as a privilege, and art as a way to document memory and resistance.
