I am...
Born in the city of Odessa, in the Soviet Ukraine, I came to Melbourne, Australia with my family in 1992, as a 15 year old. In Ukraine, I studied at Odessa Childrens Art School and completed a diploma of fine arts. In Melbourne, 1999 I completed my BA (Honours) in Fashion at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and moved to Europe to travel and work in the fashion industry. After studying in a Postgrad course in Fashion, at Central St Martins College of Art and Design, London, I decided to come back to fine arts. Back in Melbourne, in 2007, I graduated form my second degree, BFA Painting, Victorian College of the Arts, with numerous awards, one of which a prestigious Freedman Traveling Scholarship for Emerging Artists. In 2008, I am traveling to USA and Europe, participating in various projects and residencies.
About my artwork
My practice can be described as a hybrid of diverse disciplines and mediums that range from visual art performances and actions to site-specific installations and video works. I employ each medium as a tool for an expression of a particular idea or project, whilst using my body and its immediate surroundings, conditions and state of being, as material.
Artists I like
Rebecca Horn
Marina Abramovic
Vitto Acconci
Joseph Beuys
Interests
Performance art of all kinds
Literature
Cinema
What exhibitions are good at the moment?
Ollafur Elliason, MOMA, PS1, NYC
Rebecca Horn, Sean Kelly, NYC
The centre of the artworld is
New York, London, Berlin

Hi Katya! With "hard art" I want to say that is an art with a very strong personality. See you!!

yeah well, Ferran called it "hard art". Some of this appeals to me for some r3ason, some N0t. You've had a unique perspective of the world–keep using it in your work.

Too much hard art for me... but I must recognise that is close to me.
