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.

Images of hell have, for centuries, helped explain the consequences of human actions. Different cultures imagined it in different ways, but almost all portrayed it as a warning about what happens when people cross certain boundaries.
What fascinates me is something else. Human beings do not need an afterlife to create hell. History shows that we are fully capable of turning our own reality into one—while sincerely believing that we are pursuing justice, security, or the common good.
I am interested in the illusion of absolute righteousness. Perhaps the conviction that the end justifies the means is the very first step toward creating hell here on Earth.
