Sofiia Korotkevych
Artist from Ukraine
Sofiia Korotkevych is a visual artist from Lviv. She graduated in monumental painting (Lviv State College of Decorative and Applied Arts named after I. Trush) and art glass (Lviv National Academy of Arts).
One of the main focuses of her artistic interest is the archaeology of the present — researching the nowadays as a layer in which traces of experiences, events, and interactions between human and environment are preserved. In Sofiia’s works, landscapes and objects appear as carriers of these social symbols and memories. Her approach reflects a philosophy of interaction and intervention: manual labor is a way of thinking, and working with materials becomes a metaphor for the phenomena we encounter every day. The artist mainly works in art glass, installation, environmental art, graphics and video.

Silent Layers is a series of works in mixed media and encaustic technique. It explores the material memory of the industrial history of Drohobych region (western Ukraine) through the use of natural and industrial substances connected to its landscape and history. Ozokerite wax, soot, salt, coper and other local and widespread materials are fused into the surfaces of the works, becoming traces of extraction, transformation, and preservation.
