Alina Zamanova (b. 1993) is a figurative multimedia artist who lives and works in Ukraine, Kyiv.  Her paintings and sculptures reflect the complexities of the human condition, exploring themes such as identity, mortality, search for meaning and purpose in a conflict-thorn world, that is often filled with trauma, suffering and tragedy but also perseverance, dignity  and compassion.  Influenced by her personal philosophical reflections, life experiences as an artist living in a country in a state of war, and by an existential psychology theories, Zamanova draws attention to important issues such as an impact of conflict on people and the planet and the resilience of the human spirit.

With a deep research of trauma's insidious nature Zamanova delves into the intricacies of the human mind, exploring how the scars left behind by trauma shape our very being. Her artworks are a reminder of the long-lasting effects of war, and the way in which it can irrevocably alter our understanding of the world.

Quin holds an MFA from the Yale School of Art, and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been the subject of several solo exhibitions including her first US museum show,  My Hellmouth, at the Nerman Museum of Art in 2023.
