Artwork by Caro de Valk

Artwork by Rina Riga

Artist and tutor from Kharkiv. I work in the genre of painting and installation, exploring the boundaries between reality and imagination through primary sensations, images and processes of transformation. Inspired by the works and life of Čiurlionis - Lithuanian composer and painter. In my practice, I address the themes of instability, transition and finding support in a changing world. A key aspect of my work is memory: its materiality, fragmentation and changeability. It manifests itself in multilayered structures that resemble the processes of birth, decay and rebirth, as if visualizing how memories germinate, collapse and form anew. The corporeality in my works is a carrier of memory. Organic textures hint at roots, flesh or connections that connect us with the environment and the past. Abstract forms and mythological allusions create a space for reflection on how individual and collective memories influence our perception of reality.

Artwork by Vês Três

VÊS.TRÊS is a collective project composed of emerging artists Ana Malta, Madalena Pequito and Maria de Brito Matias. The collaboration began in 2018, after they finished their respective degrees in Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. The desire to continue close work as colleagues encouraged the creation of joint works where pictorial harmony creates a game of seeing and recognizing. The question that remains will always be: "Do you see three"? Three forms of expression, three styles, three color palettes. It emerged as a movement of mutual support, a dialogue of experiences and a space for sharing social issues as women artists. The collective aims to convey to the viewer the importance of bringing together practices and minds for the development of human life. We are social beings and by coming together we sharpen our senses - in this case 3 times more sensitive - creating this element - Vês.Três - which, as a singular artist, has the presence of three independent artists who want to leave their mark through a colorful language that is accessible to anyone. All three intervene in the same way and at the same time in all created works.

Artwork by Bohdana Tkach

I'm Bohdana Tkach, an artist, photographer, and graphic designer from Rivne, Ukraine. My creative path is rooted in my studies of environmental design at the Kyiv Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and free graphics at NAOMA. These experiences shaped my unique visual language, blending traditional techniques with modern artistic practices. My work centers on the exploration of the human body, especially the female form, as a vessel of identity, emotion, and history. Since 2019, I have been drawn to cyanotype, an alternative photographic printing method, which allows me to merge tactile craftsmanship with conceptual depth. I would describe myself as a seeker—a weaver of thoughts, emotions, and images. My mind thrives on the poetry of connection, the quiet questions that linger between moments, and the beauty found in both complexity and simplicity. I am drawn to the interplay of light and shadow, in the world and within myself, always searching for meaning and expression that transcend the immediate. As a thinker, I embrace the fluidity of ideas, letting them evolve and intertwine, guided by curiosity and an enduring sense of wonder. My work is both a reflection and an exploration—a way to navigate the vastness of existence and to leave something of myself in the spaces I touch. I strive to approach life with open eyes, an open heart, and a belief in the power of art to connect, heal, and transform.

Artwork by David Sharashydze

David Sharashydze

For Davyd Sharashydze, art is not just a visual expression – it is a bridge between cultures, histories, and emotions. Born into the rich artistic heritage of Ukraine and Georgia, he carries the essence of both lands in his work, blending the strength of one with the poetry of the other. His artistic journey began in the early 1990s, a turbulent era that saw the collapse of the Soviet Union and the reawakening of national identities. As the world around him shifted, so did his approach to painting. Inspired by the old masters but driven by a desire to break form, he developed a style that exists between classical and contemporary, between precision and freedom. Moving to Kyiv in 1993, Sharashydze immersed himself in the artistic fabric of the city, becoming a key figure in its creative community. His work spans painting, gesso, and graphics, but what remains constant is his ability to capture the fleeting nature of human experience—whether through textured surfaces, layered compositions, or the interplay of light and shadow. Exhibiting since 1991, he has showcased his works across Ukraine, Finland, Norway, Georgia, Australia, the USA, and Mediterranean countries, finding collectors in some of the world’s most prestigious galleries. His membership in the UNESCO International Federation of Artists is a testament to his global artistic impact. Sharashydze’s paintings feel like fragments of dreams, echoes of forgotten myths, glimpses of a world that exists just beyond reach. Whether in the soft contours of a portrait, the weathered textures of his gesso work, or the intricate lines of his graphics, his pieces invite viewers into a space of reflection — where past and present, memory and sensation converge. To experience Davyd Sharashydze’s art is to travel through time, to feel the weight of history and the pulse of the present, all captured in a single brushstroke.

Artwork by Nataliia Brichuk

Nataliia Brichuk

Natasha Brichuk, known as Notuko, paints in the language of memory. Raised in Rivne, Ukraine, she grew up surrounded by the vivid patterns of embroidered tablecloths, the warmth of painted ceramics, and the quiet grandeur of old Ukrainian architecture. These objects weren’t just decoration—they were stories, passed down through generations, whispering of heritage, resilience, and identity. But tradition, as she saw it, was not static. It pulsed with life, adapting, shifting, existing between past and present. It is this in-between space that Notuko inhabits as an artist. She pursued decorative and applied arts, specialising in ceramics, but painting became her true medium for storytelling. What began as a simple fascination evolved into a bold artistic language - where folk motifs meet abstraction, where Byzantine echoes intertwine with modern fluidity. Her figures emerge as symbols rather than individuals, their forms at times dissolving into textured layers of colour, as if caught between reality and memory. Improvisation is at the heart of her process. She embraces instinct, letting her brushwork capture fleeting emotions and intangible histories. Her compositions often feel like fragments of a grander, unseen whole — inviting viewers to reconnect with traditions, not as relics, but as living, breathing experiences. Notuko’s works have traveled far beyond her hometown, exhibited across Ukraine, Europe, and the UK. Yet, her essence remains rooted in the stories of home — the unspoken ties between past generations and those still to come. Her art is a conversation between centuries, a delicate balance of structure and spontaneity, of inherited symbols and contemporary expression. To experience Notuko’s work is to step into a world where tradition doesn’t belong to the past—it evolves, just like us.

Artwork by Oleksiy Belusenko

Oleksiy Belusenko

In the quiet, contemplative spaces of Oleksiy Belusenko’s paintings, time feels like it has softened, lingering between memory and the present. Born in Kazakhstan in 1960 and moving to Ukraine as a child, Belusenko has spent a lifetime weaving together history, landscape, and emotion — both as an artist and as a restorer of the past. For 25 years, he worked at the National Scientific Research Restoration Centre in Kyiv, (specialising in polychrome wooden sculpture and decorative carving), breathing life back into centuries-old sculptures and carvings. This intimate relationship with history shaped his artistic eye — his brushstrokes carrying the patience of a restorer, his compositions steeped in reverence for what came before. His works feel like whispers of the past, filtered through a deeply personal lens. While Belusenko’s career spans painting, sculpture, and curation, it is his landscapes that carry his most intimate dialogue with the world. Capturing the quiet poetry of Ukrainian nature, his canvases are imbued with a sense of nostalgia—soft brushwork, muted yet resonant tones, and an ever-present balance between warmth and coolness. His work does not impose itself; rather, it invites you in, allowing you to drift between reality and impression, between what is seen and what is felt. Beyond his artistic practice, Belusenko has also dedicated himself to art education, sharing his knowledge through the BritArt XX lecture series, where he dissects the nuances of 20th-century British art. As a curator and a founding member of the Blue October creative association, he continues to shape and support the contemporary art scene in Ukraine. Today, his works reside in private collections and museums across 30 countries. Yet, despite this global reach, his paintings remain rooted in something deeply personal — his connection to place, to time, and to the quiet beauty of everyday moments.

Artwork by Sestry Feldman

Twin sisters Michel and Nicol Feldman, known as Sestry Feldman, have never followed convention. Born in Dnipro in 1996, their artistic journey began at the age of eight, driven by an innate curiosity and a family that valued freedom, self-expression, and resilience. Their father—a political prisoner under the Kuchma regime—remained an unseen figure until they were eight. But when they sent him a childhood portrait, his reply was simple yet profound: “It’s a masterpiece.” That single phrase became their silent manifesto—a sign that art was their destiny. From Kyiv’s subway walls to global exhibitions in Paris, Brussels, and Tel Aviv, their work is a fearless mix of street art, political satire, and electrifying visual storytelling. Their murals, bursting with modernised Cossacks, surreal talismans, and raw emotion, are not just paintings—they are acts of defiance, echoes of history, and visions of the future. Their five-episode animated series "Yoyo", initially meant as a yoga guide for children, turned into a satirical take on AI and humanity’s future, blending humour and dystopian vision. With no formal training, their education comes from cinema, techno beats, and the streets. Their art pulses with movement, rebellion, and energy—a world where vibrant colors meet stark realities, where every piece demands attention. Their art isn’t just seen—it’s felt, lived, and encountered.

Artwork by Darina Smolkina

Darina Smolkina

In a world governed by rules—both written and unspoken—Darina Smolkina’s art whispers of quiet rebellion. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, now based in Lisbon, she crafts paintings that feel like echoes of a theatrical performance, where characters linger in a suspended moment, caught between societal expectations and personal truths. Her work is a stage, and every canvas is a scene unfolding. Darina’s journey began in a traditional family, where expectations were clear—but her fascination with the surreal led her beyond the familiar. She started art school at six, mastering techniques that shaped her unique visual language. While studying graphic design in Kyiv, Darina found her true voice in painting — a space where boundaries blurred and deeper narratives emerged. At 19, she moved to Lisbon, an experience that shaped her perspective as an outsider navigating an unfamiliar world. Her art became a reflection of identity, isolation, and the quiet weight of societal expectations. From Schönhausen Palace Museum in Berlin to New York’s 17frost Gallery, her work speaks to a universal struggle — the tension between conformity and self-expression. Whether in the dreamlike haze of New Dream World or the raw intimacy of My First Diary, Darina’s paintings invite viewers to step into a moment of self-reflection, where emotions take form and meaning unfolds. Darina doesn’t just paint figures — she paints questions. Her art asks: Who are we, beyond the expectations placed upon us? What do we reveal, and what do we conceal? Her world is one where the symbolic and the surreal merge, reflecting not just her own journey, but the collective search for meaning in a world full of invisible walls.

Artwork by Ganna Kryvolap

Since she was a young child, the Ukrainian painter Ganna Kryvolap has been shaped by the creative environment revolving around her family. She comes from a family of artists. Her father Anatoliy Kryvolap, who was famous for his Ukrainian landscape paintings, as well as her mother Zinayida Vasina, also an artist and theatre costume designer, both had a great impact on Ganna Kryvolap. Her works are characterised by brilliant colours, expressionist structure and vibrating energy. They radiate lightness and an incredible luminous intensity. The artist works in series and cycles. She transforms her city series into an abstract and dreamlike language: Kryvolap’s pictures are hybrids that incorporate impressions of real landscapes, intellectual observations and pure fantasy. She contrasts her multi-coloured urban pictures with a colour background that additionally introduces a strong dynamic element.
