About the Artist

Helen Zuskina

Ukraine

Helen Zuskina was born in 1974 in Ukraine. She is a self-taught contemporary artist working in an abstract style. She lives and works in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

She began her active artistic practice in the summer of 2025, fully dedicating herself to painting. Since then, she has been painting daily, experimenting with colors and textures. She works in mixed media, using both traditional art supplies and a variety of unconventional materials.

She prefers large-scale canvases, which allow for free improvisation and deep immersion. However, her smaller works retain the same expressive power and attention to detail.

In 2025, she joined the International Association of Online Artists “AGOP.”

She participated in the group exhibition “Kaleidoscope”, held from October 31 to November 2, 2025, at K13 Art Gallery, L. Koidula 13A, Tallinn, Estonia.

Her upcoming plans include a series of large-scale paintings and participation in international exhibitions and art fairs.
