Kateryna:
“My work explores corporeality and the cultural codes of a nation, woven into its ornamental traditions. I approach the body through live models — their emotions, their fragility, their presence. I am drawn to the ways we perceive ourselves and to the subtle shifts art can bring to that perception. Through layers of color and patchwork forms, I translate the feelings that surface in the intimate dialogue between artist and model..”
Tetiana:
“I explore the transformation of material — its shifting textures, its capacity to flow and collapse. Working within the landscape genre, I am drawn to unfamiliar spaces and to the emotions sparked by encounters between people and place. Every place carries its own memory and temperament; every person, their own experiences. My work captures the quiet exchange that unfolds where these worlds meet.”
