Alona Belinska
Visual & Ceramics Artist, Curator, Barcelona
Transforming feelings and emotions into art
Alona History & Studio
From Riga to Barcelona
Born in Riga, Latvia, Alona started drawing in early childhood but for the long time it was just a hobby that helped her to transform her feelings into art. She moved to Barcelona in 2019, after settling in, in 2022 she began to discover local art and music scene. In 2022 she founded community for creators.
Building a Dual Practice
In 2022 she started to work more on oil paintings and discovered ceramics. Each ceramics piece is hand-formed and often sold directly to people. In parallel, she continued developing her oil painting skills - works on canvas that can take more than a year to finish. Both crafts share one studio and one voice - a voice that returns again and again to inner life, to complex feelings.
From Community to Gallery
She founded the @artbeats_bcn community back in 2022, creating a space for the interaction between artists and musicians. In winter 2026 she attended drawing and painting course in Barcelona Academy of Arts. In 2026 she decided to open a physical store ArtBetas.Space together with her partner, to offer artworks made by ArtBeats participants and host events.
Handmade
Every ceramic piece and painting is created by hand by Alona in her Barcelona studio.
Small Batch
Ceramic works are produced in small batches, often to order. Paintings are unique, created one at a time.
Artist-Owned
Alona has full control over her creative process and sales, working directly with buyers at markets and through galleries.
