ABOUT ARTIST
MY PRACTICE IS FOCUSED ON WAR, EMIGRATION AND
FEMINISM. I WORK IN SUCH MEDIA AS MIXED MEDIA,
PAINTING, LINOCUT, GRAPHICS AND DIGITAL. WITH THE
HELP OF MY WORKS I REFLECT ON THE THEME OF HOME,
TIME AND SADNESS. THE MAIN ISSUES RAISED IN ALL
SERIES OF WORKS ARE HUMANISM, PHILOSOPHY, AND
FEMINISM. THE MAIN ARTISTIC TECHNIQUES THROUGH,
IMAGES OF THE HUMAN BODY WITH EMOTIONAL OR
CONCEPTUAL OVERTONES.
APRIL 8, 2024 I STARTED AN
ARTIST RESIDENCY AT LA
MALTIDA ESTAMPA. I WAS
GIVEN A SPACE FORMS BY
EQUIPPED WORKSHOP AND
GALLERY WHERE I HELD AN
ARTIST TALK.

DURING THE RESIDENCY I
WORKED IN DRY POINT,
LINOCUT AND MONOPRINTING
TECHNIQUES. I EXPLORED
THEMES OF WAR, EMIGRATION,
VIOLENCE AND MY OWN
EXPERIENCES.

I FINISHED MY RESIDENCY ON
APRIL 12TH AND GAVE AN
ARTIST TALK TO A SMALL
AUDIENCE AND
DEMONSTRATED MY PRACTICE.
 THE PICTURE TELLS ABOUT THE ISSUE
OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE; IN THIS CASE,
THE IMAGE OF A LYING BODY
SYMBOLIZES THE INEVITABILITY AND
TRAGEDY OF THE SITUATION.

THIS IS THE FIRST PAINTING MADE AT
THE RESIDENCE USING THE DRY
POINT TECHNIQUE.

“THE BODY” LINOCUT, PAPER, PAINT, 28/40,5 2024
 THE SECOND PAINTING WAS MADE AT THE RESIDENCE USING THE DRY POINT
TECHNIQUE.

THE PAINTING DEPICTS A MULTI-STORY DESTROYED HOUSE AND A GIRL
SLEEPING ON IT. THE DESTROYED HOUSE IS COPIED FROM REAL
PHOTOGRAPHS OF HOUSES IN UKRAINE, AND THE SLEEPING GIRL IS
EMIGRANTS MISSING THEIR HOME.

«THE HOUSE THAT DOESN'T EXIST» LINOCUT, PAPER, PAINT, 28/40 2024
 MY WORKS ARE ABOUT FINDING MYSELF
IN ART AND I WOULD LIKE THAT THE
VIEWER ALSO HAS THIS SEARCH. DURING
THE RESIDENCY IN THIS WORK, I TRIED
SOMETHING NEW AND UNUSUAL FOR
MYSELF, I TRIED TO WORK WITH LINOCUT
DIFFERENTLY THAN I HAD DONE BEFORE.
THIS IS A TRULY DIFFICULT JOB, I DIDN’T
HAVE A CHANCE TO AVOID MISTAKES AND
TRIALS, BECAUSE I COULDN’T RETURN TO
THE PREVIOUS STAGE (COLOR). EACH
COLOR IS A SEPARATE STAGE, I CUT IT
OUT STEP BY STEP, FROM LIGHT TO THE
DARKEST COLOR.

«МY HOMELAND IS ON FIRE» LINOCUT, PAPER, PAINT, 42/30,5 2024
ON APRIL 20, I CONDUCTED A
LINOCUT WORKSHOP.
PARTICIPANTS BROUGHT THEIR OWN
SKETCHES, CARVED THEM INTO
LINOLEUM BLOCKS, AND PRINTED
THEIR INITIAL IMPRESSIONS.
THE SESSION WAS CHARACTERIZED
BY CONCENTRATION, ENTHUSIASM,
AND COLLABORATIVE SUPPORT.
