About
Polina Belenchuk (she/her) is a London–based collage artist, illustrator, and educator
She is best known for her bold collage portraits, combining playful shapes, vibrant colours, and cut-out elements. Her work celebrates individuality, encourages people to embrace imperfection, and explores the joy of making without pressure to be perfect.
Through her workshops and courses, Polina creates supportive spaces where people can explore emotions, reconnect with themselves, and build creative confidence through collage portrait-making.
She graduated with a BA in Graphic & Media Design from the University of the Arts London in 2017. After experimenting across different media, she found her creative voice through collage and illustration, developing a practice centred on self-expression and making art accessible to everyone.
