I am a multidisciplinary visual artist and handpoke tattoo master from Ukraine, now based in the Netherlands. My practice spans acrylic painting, digital illustration, and symbolic tattooing — rooted in themes of trauma, memory, the body, and survival. Much of my work grows from the inner tension between vulnerability and resistance. I work where skin meets canvas, where pain becomes a pattern, and silence turns into color. Through bold visual language — figurative distortions, folkloric echoes, and symbolic rituals — I explore the emotional and psychological landscapes shaped by war, womanhood, and displacement. The human body is central to my art: not as an ideal, but as a wounded archive. A battlefield. A sacred space. My images often speak of what remains unspoken — cracked faces, stitched mouths, fragile ornaments, surreal icons. I draw inspiration from Slavic mythology, religious objects, mental health struggles, and personal myth-making. In 2024, I exhibited in Amsterdam in a group show exploring the war in Ukraine. This marked a turning point in my journey. I realized that here — in the Netherlands — my artistic voice could finally unfold without compromise. I relocated not only for safety, but to grow: to seek collaboration, exchange, and resonance with others. I believe this country offers the freedom and community my work deeply needs.…I am a multidisciplinary visual artist and handpoke tattoo master from Ukraine, now based in the Netherlands.
