Sold at Auction: Alina Eydel

Born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1989, Eydel and her parents emigrated to the U.S. in 1992, escaping the dangerous remnants of the Chernobyl disaster. For years, they struggled as immigrants just to get by, but always supported their daughter’s creativity. Having grown up with both Russian Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish influences, Eydel is fascinated with religion, and the influence it has on culture; as well as with spirituality, magic, and mysticism. Her most recent work explores theses subjects in both theme and process.

She has been exhibiting professionally since 2000 and is best known for her mixed media mosaic technique; nonetheless, Eydel is always striving to grow as an artist by exploring and expanding her creative potential with new themes and materials (most recently butterfly wings and precious stones.) Eydel received her B.A. in Fine Art from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2011. Her pieces can be found in public collections around Florida and private collections all over the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the U.K., Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Spain, Japan, and China.
