Artist from Ukraine
My art is about honesty with myself — an attempt to speak about pain and hope, about life, and about the ability to remain oneself even in dark times.
Graphic art and embroidery complement each other in my practice: the line is fast and precise, the thread is a repetitive movement. When I stitch through paper, it helps me gather my thoughts and find calm.
Many of my works are about home — not only as a place, but as a feeling of safety, trust, and support.

"Neighbors" is a graphic diptych that explores the delicate balance of coexistence through a unique blend of graphite pencil and red thread embroidery on thick paper. The plot unites two distinctly different worlds: a naive, linear bird standing beside a deeply textured potted flower, and a voluminous, heavily shaded triceratops dinosaur. Together, they create a profound visual metaphor for unexpected neighborhood, communication, and silent connection.
The meticulous graphic strokes imitate the rough, organic texture of wood and charcoal, adding a grounded, tactile quality to the drawing. In contrast, the thin red thread acts as a vivid emotional and physical accent. It literally pierces the paper, introducing subtle internal movement and evoking a poignant sense of fragility, protection, and shared space.
