🎨 Welcome to My World of Original Art – The Art of Alina Skorokhod
As a professional artist, I’ve dedicated my life to creating original oil paintings, frescoes, murals, watercolors, acrylic works, and graphic art.
Each of my creations speaks to the soul, reflecting the beauty of the world around us. My journey as an artist began in my childhood in the cozy Ukrainian town of Poltava—a place known for nurturing some of Ukraine’s finest scientists, artists, poets, and writers. From a young age, I was captivated by art, and what started as a childhood fascination has grown into an unstoppable passion that drives me forward every day.
💡 Education and Inspiration
I began my formal art education at a local art school and later studied at the College of Ceramics in Mirhorod, one of the most renowned ceramics hubs in Ukraine. There, I developed fundamental skills in painting, printmaking, graphics, sculpture and composition. My love for art continued to flourish, and I refined my talents during six years of university studies, earning both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in fine arts. However, life itself is the greatest teacher, always challenging me to grow as both an artist and a person.
🖌️ Art: My Heart and Soul
Art is not just my profession; it’s who I am. Through my brushstrokes, I tell stories and express emotions that words simply cannot capture. Each piece I create is a deeply personal reflection of my inner world, brought to life with passion, precision, and love.

🌍 A World of Influence
I’ve had the privilege of traveling extensively, experiencing the vibrant cultures and landscapes of Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Whether it’s the serenity of the ocean, the vastness of deserts, or the rugged beauty of mountains, these experiences have infused my work with various inspirations.
For the past decade i have been living and working in the ancient and picturesque town of Side, Turkey, where the surroundings continue to inspire my creative journey. From here, I send my artwork out to collectors around the globe.
🌸 Artistic Vision and Uniqueness
My signature style is oil painting with textured floral and landscape, seascapes, animals or abstraction, where I explore the delicate beauty and vivid colors of our world.
But my homeland, Ukraine, has deeply influenced my work. The ongoing struggle for hope, justice, and resilience of the human spirit has become a central theme in my art. Whether drawing from nature or pure imagination, each of my paintings is truly one-of-a-kind, crafted with love and intention in every brushstroke.
💛💙🇺🇦 Forever with Ukraine
While I may not be on the frontlines, my heart is with my Homeland, beloved Ukraine. In these difficult times, I am committed to supporting my homeland.
A portion of my earnings goes towards helping Ukraine and its people. Art, too, can be a powerful tool for hope and healing.
🐈 A Heart for Street Cats
When I’m not painting, I’m caring for nearly 50 street cats in my neighborhood.
Yes, you read that right—fifty! 🐾 I believe that compassion isn’t limited to people, and I find joy in making sure these little souls are safe, fed, and loved. It’s my way of bringing a little more kindness into the world.
🌍 Global Reach
My artwork has found homes in private collections worldwide, from the U.S. to the U.K., Australia to Canada, Germany to France, Norway, Singapore, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and beyond.
