About Me
I’m Alla K, and my art practice is about giving everyday emotions a stage. Through my characters O, EM, and Obi, I explore what it means to stumble, laugh, recharge, and keep moving. They carry fragments of my own story, but they’re also meant to hold a mirror up to yours.
From painting and drawing to prints and street art, I create work that’s playful but layered—where neon joy meets quiet reflection. My roots in fashion shaped my love of design, but it’s Brooklyn that gave me the energy to keep creating worlds where resilience and curiosity can live side by side.
