Adelina Billur is a Russian-born, Bangladeshi Canadian visual artist working in painting, drawing, and lithographic printmaking. Largely self-taught, she began painting at ten, and being ranked "Top in the World" in her Cambridge O Level Art examinations - a global ranking across all international candidates - convinced her to take it seriously.

She went on to study Visual Arts alongside Biology at the University of British Columbia. Her practice has always run parallel to a life in science: she spent the pandemic years in biotech, working in quality control on lipid nanoparticles for mRNA vaccines, before leaving the lab to pursue her current training in dental surgery at University College Cork.

Her practice began in realism and gradually evolved into naturalistic surrealism, often employing a sense of symmetry and aiming to make pieces that elicit an emotional response in the viewer. Drawing on a diverse array of cultural experiences, she explores the struggles of adjusting to, and ultimately accepting, new emotional landscapes.

She has previously exhibited in Canada and Bangladesh. Etched is her first solo exhibition in Ireland.
