The series “After the 13th” marks a breaking point and a return to self. I arrived in Canada on July 13, 2012, carrying one suitcase, a life folded into its smallest possible shape. Like many who cross into a new land, we began in suspension, between what had been and what had not yet formed. Priorities reshaped themselves overnight. Survival took the body, stability claimed the hands, responsibility rooted us to the ground. Art did not disappear, it transformed, receding inward, waiting patiently beneath the surface, gathering weight and meaning in silence.
When you arrive with one suitcase, simple things become complex. Identity is suspended. Language, belonging and certainty must be rebuilt piece by piece. During those thirteen years, I raised two amazing children, gave fully to motherhood and built a foundation where there was none before. Art lived alongside this life - scratched into moments, held internally, waiting.
After thirteen years, something changed.
This body of work emerges from the moment after devotion, when a woman who has given everything outward finally turns inward again. “After the 13th” is not about arrival, but about what remains once the urgency softens - the emotional residue of immigration, the endurance it demands, the quiet strength it forges. The paintings carry memory, restraint, connection and recognition, not as narrative scenes, but as felt atmospheres.
I create from the heart, informed by time, displacement, motherhood and lived emotional experience. These works invite the viewer to pause, to sense rather than analyze and to sit with the layered intensity beneath the surface. They are spaces where mood lingers, where resilience is held gently and where meaning reveals itself slowly - THE WAY IT DOES IN LIFE.

“CONVERGENCE” explores the intersection of two consciousnesses within a shared moment. The interplay of blues suggests both distance and intimacy, highlighting the subtle emotional resonance between the figures. Part of the “After the 13th” series, it continues to investigate the lingering psychological echoes of personal encounters.

“CONTEMPLATION” investigates an interior state following a moment of shift. As part of the “After the 13th” series, the work reflects on psychological residue - the quiet, reflective space that remains after an event has passed.

“SHARED WEIGHT” examines the collective burden carried between figures in the aftermath of encounter. Muted greys layered with blue, red and brown create a restrained emotional field, from which the figures emerge with heightened solidity and presence. Their boldness suggests not separation, but accumulation - the quiet pressure of experience held in common.

“SHARED WEIGHT” - this larger work functions as a more fully explored extension of the mini painting, examines the collective burden carried between figures in the aftermath of encounter. Muted greys layered with blue, red and brown create a restrained emotional field, from which the figures emerge with heightened solidity and presence.

"SIDE BY SIDE” presents two figures moving forward within a deep red field, emphasizing shared motion rather than destination. The woman’s blue dress introduces a stabilizing counterpoint to the surrounding intensity, suggesting trust, calm and continuity within an emotionally charged space. The figures remain distinct yet aligned, reflecting partnership as parallel presence - walking through life together without loss of individuality. The work speaks to what follows recognition - the enduring strength found in choosing to move forward alongside the right person.

“EMERGENCE” captures the presence of an individual asserting themselves within a space of tension and contrast. The red figure set against a green background creates a dynamic dialogue of energy and emotion, emphasizing vitality, isolation and resilience.

“ECHO” exists in the space where form begins to repeat itself. This secondary shade does not trail behind, but lingers alongside, a trace of what has been felt, remembered and carried forward. Soft touches of white lift the surface, creating brief openings of light within the density of experience. The work reflects a state in which identity is not singular, but shaped by reverberation, the self as something formed through contact, repetition and time.

“HER” - Resting behind the surface, she inhabits a moment where striving has ended and breath returns to itself. The painting holds the tenderness of arrival without spectacle, a calm intimacy where nothing is asked, nothing explained. It speaks to the beauty of becoming still, of being felt rather than seen and of peace found not in distance, but in closeness.

“TWELVE” is a place of waiting. In this work, yellow becomes both presence and pressure, illuminating the distance between what has been completed and what has yet to arrive. The series holds steady here, suspended in light.

A little girl stood still among the poppies, watching their scarlet faces turn toward the light, small yellow sparks trembling between them.
She didn’t touch a single petal. She just watched, listening with her eyes.

I walk the road. The air shifts first, feel cool against the skin, carrying the scent of rain before it arrives. Hills quiet, flowers lean and the trees seem to listen. Somewhere above, the sky is learning how to fall. This is the moment when summer exhales, and the land waits to be spoken to by rain.

Reflection of My Memory captures the quiet poetry of autumn through the mirrored image of fall trees in water.

UPCOMING
PAST

“The Symphony of Colors” is an evolving interdisciplinary project by Aleksandra Yasinowski, developed in collaboration with a German piano composer Martin Sven Moritz, that explores the deep and intuitive relationship between sound and visual expression.
With a planned release in 2027, the full body of work will present both the visual and musical compositions together, offering an immersive environment where painting and sound coexist as one continuous, living composition.
This summer I’ll be sharing my plein air painting journey across some of the most beautiful landscapes I encounter along the way. As an oil painter, there is nothing quite like standing in front of a landscape, feeling the wind, hearing the sounds of nature and translating that moment directly onto canvas.
Living in America is truly such a privilege as an artist. The diversity of landscapes is incredible - from quiet countryside roads and vast open fields to dramatic mountains, forests and coastlines. Nature constantly reminds me why I fell in love with painting in the first place.
Follow the journey and be the first to see the new works as they are created.
The finished collection will be released later this year and published on my website.

Throughout her career, Aleksandra has been juried and selected for membership in respected artistic organizations, recognizing her professional achievements, artistic merit, and ongoing contribution to the visual arts. These memberships reflect her commitment to artistic excellence and her active involvement in the broader arts community.
