Original paintings in oils, watercolour, acrylic and mixed media from my studio in Scotland.
Every piece ships worldwide with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
The Becoming
Transformation is not a metaphor. It is something that happens in the body, over time, through loss and growth and choosing again. The Becoming is a series of figurative paintings about the long, uncomfortable, necessary process of change — the moments when a woman stops performing who she has been and begins to become who she is. Painted in oils, watercolour, acrylic and mixed media, these works draw on Slavic mythology, Japanese spirit lore, and the artist's own experience of displacement and renewal. Original paintings for sale, each with Certificate of Authenticity.
Small & Sacred
Not all mythic things are large. Some are 30 × 30 centimetres — intimate, quiet, and charged. Small & Sacred is a collection of smaller-format original paintings in watercolour, gold leaf and gouache, each one a complete world in miniature. Woman with leopard. Woman with seal. Woman with peonies. These are paintings about the bonds that hold us — between the human and the animal, the domestic and the wild, the ordinary and the sacred. Original paintings for sale with Certificate of Authenticity. Ships worldwide from Orkney, Scotland.
Kitsune
In Japanese mythology, the kitsune is a fox spirit of extraordinary intelligence — shape-shifter, guardian, trickster, bridge between worlds. The older the kitsune, the more tails she grows, and the greater her power. This series of original lino prints and acrylic paintings explores two incarnations of the fox spirit: the Moon Guardian, patient and luminous in darkness, and the Sun Guardian, fierce and radiant at noon. Each piece is a meditation on the kind of feminine wisdom that speaks before thought — the instinct that lives below language. Original kitsune art for sale, lino print on paper with hand-applied acrylic.
Edge of the World
Orkney sits at the northern edge of Scotland, where five thousand years of human story lie compressed into a small archipelago of islands, stone circles, sea stacks and extraordinary skies. The Edge of the World collection is Alona Petliarska's response to this landscape — oil paintings and watercolours of aurora borealis above Stronsay, the Ring of Brodgar at golden hour, stone cottages holding on against winter waves, and the rare luminous days when the Orkney sea turns blue. Original Orkney landscape paintings for sale, in oil on canvas and watercolour on paper. Ships worldwide with Certificate of Authenticity.
Internal Spectrum
The Internal Spectrum is a series of three original acrylic portrait paintings — Vero (truth), Isa (stillness), and Caro (beloved) — each set against a monochromatic field of colour that functions as an emotional landscape. Red for the fire of action. Blue for the ocean of reflection. Green for the living peace of growth. These are not simply portraits. They are psychological states made visible — the interior experiences that women carry but rarely show. Painted in acrylic on canvas, 30 × 40 cm each. Original figurative paintings for sale from Orkney, Scotland.
ROOTS
Some inheritance is chosen. Most of it isn't. ROOTS gathers the figures and rituals carried from home without asking permission — the goddess who ends winter, the goat god of midwinter luck, the spinner who measures out a life in thread, the tangled fate no one hands you neatly, the counting that happens at 3am whether you invite it or not. These are paintings about what continues underneath displacement: mythology that doesn't stay behind when the body moves. Original paintings in oil and watercolour, ships worldwide with Certificate of Authenticity.
