Dmytro Kozynets

Dmytro Kozynets doesn’t just create art, he reclaims it. His work transforms forgotten household patterns into living canvases, blurring the boundaries between design, memory, and human experience. A Ukrainian artist of Greek descent based in Kyiv, Kozynets is known for his bold reinterpretations of everyday interiors, where Soviet-era wallpaper from the 1960s to the 1990s becomes both his foundation and his subject. His process is deeply symbolic. Using silk-screen printing, he overlays modern abstract compositions onto these vintage surfaces, once a backdrop to family life, now a stage for new narratives. The past is never erased; instead, it is reimagined, turned into something tactile and meaningful. At the heart of his work lies a fascination with personal spaces and the objects we surround ourselves with. A vase on a table, a chair near a window—these simple elements hold quiet stories, and Kozynets invites us to reconsider their presence. His art pulses with sincerity, infused with what he calls "the eroticism of truth". Beyond the canvas, Kozynets' influence extends into design and digital media, where he works as an art director, helping shape the visual landscape of contemporary culture. His works have found homes in private collections across Europe and the United States, bridging the past with the present, the personal with the universal. Through his art, Dmytro Kozynets asks a simple yet profound question: What do the objects in our lives say about us? In his hands, forgotten textures and familiar forms become vessels of memory, reminders that beauty often lies in the spaces we take for granted.
