Biography

Lina Poluna (b. 1998) is an oil painter based in Tbilisi, Georgia. Her work explores psychological tension through images of animals, human figures, and the nude body. Working within dark, calm, and slightly unsettling atmospheres, she examines emotional states that exist beneath visible stillness. Poluna began her artistic practice through academic drawing studies with a private instructor before working as a tattoo artist from 2019. This experience shaped her sensitivity to the body as both image and surface a place where memory, vulnerability, and transformation intersect. Her paintings often balance between fragility and restraint, where quiet compositions carry an undercurrent of unease. Animals and human figures appear as emotional carriers rather than narrative subjects, inhabiting spaces that feel suspended between protection and confinement.

Artist Statement

My work exists in the space between freedom and confinement where protection turns into isolation and silence grows heavier than words. I paint emotional states rather than stories. Tension, vulnerability, control. What is held beneath the skin until it begins to fracture. Earlier, this pressure appeared through fragile, non-human forms. Over time, it became human. The body emerged as both witness and container carrying memory, impact, and the possibility of transformation. My paintings do not seek to comfort.( They hold a space where the wound and the light remain unresolved.
