Biography

Ukrainian visual artist working internationally. Participant of the 58th Venice Biennale. I explore embodiment, presence, and the states in-between.

At the heart of my artistic practice lies an exploration of the in-between — between body and landscape, form and sensation, memory and the present moment, the inner and the outer. I’m deeply drawn to how the human body — fragile, sensitive, yet profoundly resonant — enters into dialogue with space, dissolves into it, and becomes part of a broader structure of being.

My works do not aim to depict the human figure in a literal sense. Rather, they seek to evoke a state — an impression, a resonance. Through translucent layers of paint, subtle lines, and the rhythm of color, I create compositions that don’t explain, but suggest. They invite stillness, invite touch, and remind us of the way we inhabit the world — not in isolation, but through movement, transition, and transformation.

My work addresses the theme of identity in a fragmented world. In an age overwhelmed by information, where the self becomes increasingly dispersed, I turn to art as a space for reconnection — with the body, with nature, with one’s own inner continuity. I seek to create a visual language that encourages presence, reflection, and a deeper awareness of what it means to exist.

My paintings are visualized emotional states — unbound by form or language, yet charged with presence. They are not meant to be interpreted, but to be felt.

I was born in Ukraine and received a Master’s degree from the Lviv National Academy of Arts in 2012. Since 2021, I have been a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. My portfolio includes ten solo exhibitions, seven of which were held abroad. In 2019, I participated in the 58th Venice Biennale as part of the international project “The Shadow of a Dream Falls on Giardini Gardens.”

My works are part of private collections in Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Italy, Austria, Australia, and the Philippines — including the collection of a Philippine princess. I currently live and work in Poland.
