Daria Ivashchenko

Daria Ivashchenko is a Ukrainian artist born in Kyiv, currently living and working in Thailand. She works in oil on canvas with 23-karat gold and metal leaf — materials that shift with light and pull the viewer into the surface of the painting itself.
Her subjects are still life, flowers, animals, and the natural world — flora and fauna observed closely and painted with precision. The work is rooted in realism, but driven by something more personal: a commitment to joy as a serious artistic position. Beauty, in her paintings, is not decorative. It is the point.
Since 2013 art has been her full-time practice. She has exhibited in galleries, art fairs, and museums internationally, and her works are held in private collections across Ukraine, the UK, the USA, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, and Greece. Her paintings were selected for a three-year exhibition at the Office of the President of Ukraine.
