Alla Kosteleckaya

Bio

My name is Alla Kosteletskaya. I was 55 years old when I simply trusted the inner call of my soul and immersed myself in creative processes.. When creating my works, I find in everything an amazing unity of the material, mental and spiritual. I intuitively feel what I want to "talk" about and it is during work that the meanings of what is happening are revealed to me and everything falls into place. It is like a challenge that I throw to myself every time and calm down, having answered it with a completed work. This process gives me satisfaction because, starting to paint even "difficult and disturbing", I complete the picture with silence, peace and understanding of the situation.. I like to try different techniques, experiment, create three-dimensional paintings, use texture paste, gold leaf, gold and silver paints. Since 2021 I actively participate in exhibitions: Minsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg, New York, Budapest, Parma, Ankara, Beijing - the cities where my works were exhibited. In 2023, at the International Competition ART EXCELLENCE AWARDS (Art. Perfection. Recognition), my work “Purifying Fire” received the Silver Medal of the competition in the Nomination - Painting, category - Professional. Member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia, member of the Italian Independent Art Association EOS Laboratorio delle Arti, Member of the Eurasian Art Union. Works are in private collections: Belarus, Russia, Europe, USA.

Statement

In my works, I always want to look a little further than the material shell of this world, to touch something secret and deep that I cannot touch with my hands, but that lives in every heart and makes us with trepidation feel our involvement in the eternal movement of life and touches the most intimate corners of our soul ...

• Personal Art Exhibition "State of the Soul". Alla Kosteleckaya

  People & Paintings Gallery

  Life is an exciting process in which spiritual laws shape our reality. In her works, Belarusian artist Alla Kosteleckaya shares her inner revelations, inviting the viewer to reflection and awareness. Alla’s art is a fusion of the material and spiritual worlds. Her creations are filled with signs and metaphors, revealing themselves uniquely to each viewer. It is an invitation to a dialogue with oneself, an opportunity to see the world through the prism of intuitive art, imbued with harmony and light. The artist works intuitively, trusting the call of the soul. For her, the process of creating a painting is not only an act of creativity but also a search for meaning, culminating in a sense of peace and understanding. Her works are a message for those contemplating eternity and the mysteries of existence. Alla Kosteleckaya experiments with techniques and materials: textured paste, gold leaf, and metallic paints help convey depth and multilayered perception. Her paintings combine light, shadow, symbolism, and subtle energy that resonates with viewers' hearts. The exhibition "State of the Soul" is an opportunity to connect with the artist’s world, delve into personal experiences, and discover new meanings. It is a space for inspiration, inner dialogue, and realization, where everyone can find something significant for themselves.

• People United for Peace

  People & Paintings Gallery

  We live in a world in which communication, people's trust in other people, is being lost, or is increasingly diminishing, this causes distance between people, there is also a lack of tolerance for what is different from us. Therefore, I consider that art is the way to bring us closer, to identify with each other, to try to find common ground and the way to respect each other and create a world of peace and unity between peoples. For this reason, Débora Lewinson, founder of Lewinson Art, calls on artists from around the world to interpret the theme People United for Peace. These works must express harmony, respect, unity.

• From the Gallery's Storeroom 2025

  People & Paintings Gallery

  Many great works are being submitted to our Juried Exhibitions. According to the rules, our curators select only 20 works for each exhibition. The exhibition curation is a separate art. Each individual work must be a part of the "big picture". Unfortunately, many amazing works "fall through the crack". As we remember from Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in". Some of these works are so great that we still want to show them to our fans. We decided that at the end of this year we will organize a special exhibition "From the Gallery's Storeroom" where we will exhibit some of the works applied, but not selected for any other exhibitions during this year.
