About Me
Hi, I’m Ali, the artist behind By Ali Atelier.
I’ve always found comfort in creating. Whether it’s painting, sketching, or collecting little moments from nature, art has always been my favourite way of slowing down and appreciating the world around me.
Growing up surrounded by animals, they naturally became the heart of my work. Every pet has their own little quirks, expressions, and personality, and I love turning those moments into paintings that can be treasured for years to come.
When I’m not painting commissions, you’ll usually find me working on new collections inspired by my own pets, flowers, cosy afternoons, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. These are also the inspiration behind The Paws & Petals Club, my monthly mail club where I share original artwork, letters, and little pieces of my creative world.
My work has also been featured by New in Évora (NiT), where I shared the story behind The Paws & Petals Club and how a simple idea of sending illustrated letters inspired by my own animals grew into a community of art and pet lovers. You can read the feature here: “This Évora student sends monthly letters with portraits of her animals”.
Every portrait is painted by hand with care, patience, and attention to the smallest details. My hope is that each piece brings a smile, tells a story, and celebrates the special bond we share with the animals we love.
Thank you for being here. It truly means the world to me.
