Alina Kolesnyk is a Ukrainian picture author, dreamer, and overthinker. 

​

She thrives on weaving visual stories, drawn to that magical act of creation and the endless potential of a blank page, waiting to be filled with anything between reality and the impossible.

 

She’ll take any excuse to draw a map or a samurai (preferably one sporting a charmingly eccentric kabuto helmet, but she’s not picky).
Lately, she’s been trying to befriend vivid colors — with mixed success and the occasional betrayal.

 

More than anything, she hopes to create books that children of any age will cherish, lose themselves in, and, ideally, doodle all over.
