I am Nina Fedotova, a Ukrainian artist working with color, minimalism, and metaphor.
My artistic practice combines minimalism, surrealism, and elements of pop art. My paintings are built around vibrant colors, simple forms, and symbolic imagery that invite viewers to look beyond the obvious.
Chickens and ostriches are the central characters in my work. These metaphorical figures serve as tools for exploring human nature, emotions, behavior, and the ways people interact within society.
Many of my paintings emerge as a response to personal experiences, including tension, uncertainty, and the realities of living in a country affected by war. Through bold color palettes and minimalist compositions, I seek to create space for reflection, irony, and fresh perspectives on everyday life.
My work balances playfulness and depth, using visual simplicity to address complex emotional and social themes.

This is a picture about internal movement within an external structure. About the rhythm set by the world—and the one we create within ourselves.
Against a light-blue background, rhythm becomes visible. The upper part of the painting consists of pulsating vertical red lines—thin, like taut nerves or alarm signals. They seem to hover in the air, maintaining a sense of tension. The lower section features calm, broad horizontal blue bands that create a sense of order and direction.
Between them, red hens stride confidently in a single direction—moving to the rhythm of the system, a rhythm of resistance or acceptance. They symbolize womanhood, life, and the mundane—or, conversely, the absurdity of an ordered world. They do not get lost amidst the lines but fit right into them, moving forward. Marching on. Unwaveringly.
