Paintings Inspired by the Journey

Aleksandra Yasinowski is a Canadian - Polish artist living and working in Saskatchewan. 

She was born in 1982 and raised in Poland. In her early 30s, she moved to Canada, where she settled with her family. Throughout her life, she has successfully run multiple businesses, driven by creativity, ambition and a determination to always reach higher and never give up.

From a young age, Aleksandra was passionate about art and creative expression. As a little girl, she spent countless hours drawing with colored pencils and paper from a small cabinet filled with art supplies. She was naturally drawn to bold, vibrant colors and loved creating simply for the joy of it, often putting her drawings away without ever showing them to anyone. Those early moments of creativity became the foundation of her artistic spirit and lifelong passion for creating.

Currently Aleksandra Yasinowski creates landscapes and floral oil paintings that capture memory and emotions. A full time artist, she has held multiple solo exhibitions and actively contributes to her local arts community and charitable initiatives. She also performs at events as a live painter, creating artwork in front of an audience.

Painting, for her, is not a decision but a recognition. It begins with the want to paint - the first thought in the morning, the moment when the mind finally feels free, when there is a quiet certainty that now is the time. Creation happens naturally, unfolding through instinct and sensation. The studio becomes a place of comfort and release, where lived experience is translated into surface, weight and gesture.

Aleksandra loves to travel and rarely goes anywhere without her pochade box. During the warmer months, she spends as much time as possible painting outdoors, often setting up from the back of her car to capture quickly changing clouds, shifting light, and fleeting moments in nature. These spontaneous studies allow her to respond directly to what she sees and feels in the landscape. She has always been drawn to the beauty and grandeur of mountains, a fascination that can be seen throughout her work,  symbols of freedom and exploration. 

ARTIST STATEMENT

"I simply love to paint, and it's what I want to do every day. Whether I'm in the studio or painting outdoors, creating art is how I connect with the world around me. My paintings are inspired by places, memories and moments that catch my attention. I hope each piece leaves room for people to see and feel something of their own. For me, painting is about following my instinct and enjoying the process of creating."
