Alina Matsa
Hello!
I am a visual artist and I love colours , textures and challenges.
I portray the world as a place where both reality and dreams interlace, by using
a variety of different mediums and forms.
I was lucky to have undertaken many interesting projects, so please take a look and hope you enjoy!
