Alina Pecherskaya is an artist based in Amsterdam. She holds a BA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London (2018), received the Art Excellence Award in 2020, and her work is included in private collections — notably that of David McKee, art dealer and co-founder of McKee Gallery, New York, who represented artists such as Philip Guston and John Chamberlain.
Alina’s paintings explore embodied memory, vulnerability, and inner stillness through layered surfaces built with acrylic, oil, and collage. Her canvases evoke skin, cloth, and the topography of sensation — where presence takes precedence over narrative.
After an extended pause in her artistic practice, she returns to painting as a personal and tactile act — a way to re-enter matter, memory, and contemplation. She is currently working on a new body of work and preparing her first exhibition in Amsterdam, marking the beginning of a new chapter.
