A young woman tilts her face toward something the drawing doesn’t show – and doesn’t need to. The look is enough: open, unhurried, quietly full of wonder. Rendered in pencil with sure, unhurried strokes, the white page doing as much work as the graphite. Some drawings reach upward. This one does it literally. Pencil 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 โ€“ 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.
