Artwork by Darina Smolkina

Darina Smolkina

Darina Smolkina

In a world governed by rules—both written and unspoken—Darina Smolkina’s art whispers of quiet rebellion. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, now based in Lisbon, she crafts paintings that feel like echoes of a theatrical performance, where characters linger in a suspended moment, caught between societal expectations and personal truths. Her work is a stage, and every canvas is a scene unfolding. Darina’s journey began in a traditional family, where expectations were clear—but her fascination with the surreal led her beyond the familiar. She started art school at six, mastering techniques that shaped her unique visual language. While studying graphic design in Kyiv, Darina found her true voice in painting — a space where boundaries blurred and deeper narratives emerged. At 19, she moved to Lisbon, an experience that shaped her perspective as an outsider navigating an unfamiliar world. Her art became a reflection of identity, isolation, and the quiet weight of societal expectations. From Schönhausen Palace Museum in Berlin to New York’s 17frost Gallery, her work speaks to a universal struggle — the tension between conformity and self-expression. Whether in the dreamlike haze of New Dream World or the raw intimacy of My First Diary, Darina’s paintings invite viewers to step into a moment of self-reflection, where emotions take form and meaning unfolds. Darina doesn’t just paint figures — she paints questions. Her art asks: Who are we, beyond the expectations placed upon us? What do we reveal, and what do we conceal? Her world is one where the symbolic and the surreal merge, reflecting not just her own journey, but the collective search for meaning in a world full of invisible walls.

IRYDIY Iryna Dzyndra

A representative of modern trends of the fine and decorative arts artist. In her works, Iryna places emphasis on the process of creating an image, on the interdependence of the artist and the painting and vice versa. The themes of the authors artistic expression most often are revealed in a landscape, her own vision of the landscape and space where it spreads with all the finest nuances of its emotional colouring. Contemplation, dialogue, and meditation are the priority principles of the contextual filling of the artist’s works' picturesqueness. Born in Lurtsk, Ukraine

Artwork by Bohdana Tkach

Bohdana Tkach

I'm Bohdana Tkach, an artist, photographer, and graphic designer from Rivne, Ukraine. My creative path is rooted in my studies of environmental design at the Kyiv Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and free graphics at NAOMA. These experiences shaped my unique visual language, blending traditional techniques with modern artistic practices. My work centers on the exploration of the human body, especially the female form, as a vessel of identity, emotion, and history. Since 2019, I have been drawn to cyanotype, an alternative photographic printing method, which allows me to merge tactile craftsmanship with conceptual depth. I would describe myself as a seeker—a weaver of thoughts, emotions, and images. My mind thrives on the poetry of connection, the quiet questions that linger between moments, and the beauty found in both complexity and simplicity. I am drawn to the interplay of light and shadow, in the world and within myself, always searching for meaning and expression that transcend the immediate. As a thinker, I embrace the fluidity of ideas, letting them evolve and intertwine, guided by curiosity and an enduring sense of wonder. My work is both a reflection and an exploration—a way to navigate the vastness of existence and to leave something of myself in the spaces I touch. I strive to approach life with open eyes, an open heart, and a belief in the power of art to connect, heal, and transform.

Nataliia Brichuk

Natasha Brichuk, known as Notuko, paints in the language of memory. Raised in Rivne, Ukraine, she grew up surrounded by the vivid patterns of embroidered tablecloths, the warmth of painted ceramics, and the quiet grandeur of old Ukrainian architecture. These objects weren’t just decoration—they were stories, passed down through generations, whispering of heritage, resilience, and identity. But tradition, as she saw it, was not static. It pulsed with life, adapting, shifting, existing between past and present. It is this in-between space that Notuko inhabits as an artist. She pursued decorative and applied arts, specialising in ceramics, but painting became her true medium for storytelling. What began as a simple fascination evolved into a bold artistic language - where folk motifs meet abstraction, where Byzantine echoes intertwine with modern fluidity. Her figures emerge as symbols rather than individuals, their forms at times dissolving into textured layers of colour, as if caught between reality and memory. Improvisation is at the heart of her process. She embraces instinct, letting her brushwork capture fleeting emotions and intangible histories. Her compositions often feel like fragments of a grander, unseen whole — inviting viewers to reconnect with traditions, not as relics, but as living, breathing experiences. Notuko’s works have traveled far beyond her hometown, exhibited across Ukraine, Europe, and the UK. Yet, her essence remains rooted in the stories of home — the unspoken ties between past generations and those still to come. Her art is a conversation between centuries, a delicate balance of structure and spontaneity, of inherited symbols and contemporary expression. To experience Notuko’s work is to step into a world where tradition doesn’t belong to the past—it evolves, just like us.

Carlos Barradas

Photographer with a PhD in anthropology, I have been producing photographic and textual essays on issues such as territory, colonialism and post-colonialism, disability, new masculinities and sustainability. Considered by GUP Magazine as one of the 100 European photography talents (2020). My work, described as magic documentalism, has already been exhibited in Brazil, France, Italy and Portugal. I exhibited collectively at the Rencontres d'Arles 2019 & 2023 (promoted by the British Journal of Photography and Der Greif) and at the International Center of Photography, in New York. Winner of the “Cities in the City” initiative at PhotoEspaña and the Porto Photography Biennial '21 and recently guest artist in residence at Encontros da Imagem 2023 edition. Co-creator and co-editor of the online contemporary photography magazine SOPA and editor of the photography platform Lenscratch , based in Los Angeles. Part of my artistic practice is developed around personal work, but also the development of free workshops for the communities I work with, always resulting in fanzines, collective exhibitions or other types of artistic products, as has happened in my work in Campanhã , in Porto, São Tomé and Príncipe or Namibia. I believe that through these joint initiatives and community participation, the visual production and local cultural mapping will be richer the greater their engagement.

In her studio practice the artist mixes painting, drawing, sculpting, collage and raw forms of etching such as monoprinting and woodcut. Always finding beauty in the unconventional and with a keen interest on recycling waste, don´t be surprised to find her digging in garbage at construction sites or "treasure hunting" at the beach for objects and materials that catch her eye and meet some of her ideas.She's most inspired by everyday life, people and nature, with maybe the sea in the spotlight; but her previous experiences in live, childhood memories, loss and a consequent "joie de vivre" that coexists with a certain melancholy also tend to appear on many of her work. Constantly playing with colour and texture in this hide and seek game, her pieces often reveal a sense of calmness, peace and light when finished, although many times there are emotional storms and chaos in the under layers. Her work comes many times as calming and enlightening to her collectors.

As an artist rooted in environmental technology, I draw inspiration from the intersection of biotechnology and mixed media. My work transcends conventional boundaries, weaving together painting, sculpture, collage, and installation to construct boundless biomorphic realms. Guided by the Greek roots of 'bios' (life) and 'morphe' (form), my visual language evokes the essence of organic shapes and forms. Each space I craft beckons viewers into immersive audio-visual odysseys, inviting exploration of diverse facets of the human experience, self-expression, and the natural world. Through this journey, I aspire to cultivate emotional healing and deepen environmental awareness. My artistic mission extends beyond mere aesthetics; it's a profound exploration of the transformative potential inherent in creative expression. By engaging with my art, both myself and the audience embark on a journey of neural transformation, discovering the resilience and liberation that can arise from confronting and overcoming life's challenges.

Ivanka Nechyporuk

Ivanka Nechyporuk was born in 1994 in Netishyn, Khmelnytskyi region, Ukraine. She obtained her master’s degree from Kamianets-Podilskyi National University named after Ivan Ohienko, specializing in art restoration. Since 2018, she has been living and working in Kyiv. Her work is primarily in the surrealist style, with a particular focus on paintings of geese. The artist chose this form of expression to convey her inner feelings. Her main mediums include painting, mixed media, and graphics. In her work, Ivanka draws inspiration from everything that surrounds her, especially nature, materials, textures, people, and animals. She is fascinated by the combination of seemingly incompatible elements. For example, she often explores unrealistic animal coloring or sharp contrasts between shapes and colors.

Artwork by Sestry Feldman

Sestry Feldman

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.
