Happy to share some exciting news! Ten of my works were entered in the international competition TeraVarna — 14th Open International Juried Art Competition 2026, and three of them received the jury’s Honorary Diploma: Rustic Lunch, Apple’n’Vase, and A Kitten — all three painted in gouache.

Seven more works advanced to the finalist round: the gouache Canada Geese Fishing, the pencil drawing Stargazing, and the digital works Mermaid, The Night Owl, Daytime Moon, Masquerade Love, and Femme Fatale.

I am so glad the jury appreciated my work across different techniques, and I am sincerely grateful for such recognition of my art!

Working under the name PaintLine, she creates across traditional and digital media – 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.
