Alina Shimova is Russian born Miami based artist. Her creative journey began at an early age. Alina entered an art school at the age of 12, where she studied classical art for five years. That time she was drawn to Russian classics, especially Aivazovsky and his magnificent seascapes. She was fortunate to study under the supervision of the famous modern artist - M. A. Satarov, whose works displayed in the Kremlin. With her classical paintings, Alina participated in many group exhibitions, and now many of her works are in private collections of Russian and European art collectors. In 2018, Alina traveled to the United States. This journey fundamentally changed the young artist's perception of modern art and determined her further artistic direction. American classics have become a compass on the way to a new, unique artistic style. She was inspired by its spirit of freedom and willingness to break the rules, create new horizons, and express their imagination.
