Close to you within me Artwork

Profile I am Ukrainian-British conceptual artist. My work is primarily constructed from materials found on building sites and in nature. Working in a broad range of media, including photography, video, sculpture and paint, I aim to give decayed objects a new function and extend their life. I am continuing to research the philosophy of grief, positive ageing and the transformative impact of dementia on individual’s physical and mental state. My mission is to remind about the fragility of life, the beauty of ageing, promote grief support and healing practices, to raise awareness about dementia, foster positive choices that exist in the communities for people affected by dementia and highlight the importance of creative practice for them and their families. I am honoured to work with Arts 4 Dementia- a leading UK charity that provides art opportunities to empower people living with dementia and their carers.
