Psycho 1. Berlin Painting

Ruslana Nosák (b 1991) is a Russian born painter who currently lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Ruslana’s work reflects a lifelong journey through different places, each of which has shaped and expanded her artistic vision. Rooted in architecture, her career began with structured forms, but have always felt the pull towards painting as a true vocation. Over the years she’s explored a range of mediums including acrylic, oil, watercolour, ink, epoxy, pastel, pencil, 3D modelling, digital and VR, embracing each for its unique expressive qualities. Her experience spans illustration, teaching drawing, painting and composition, allowing Ruslana to develop a deep understanding of both technique and form. In 2020 Ruslana moved from Moscow to Berlin, where her practice evolved to focus on the emotional landscapes of migrant life. Ruslana’s work depicts the psychological and cultural complexities faced by individuals adapting to new countries and identities. In 2021, Ruslana embarked on a journey through eleven countries, continuing to explore themes of belonging and transience. This journey reinforced her realisation that no matter where I am, I remain a visitor - even in my home country. “For me, this sense of transience and the search for 'home' is an ongoing narrative that leaves my story, and my art, open-ended”. 2019–until now an independent artist 2017-2020 an artist-teacher specialized in oil, acrylic, pastel, fluid art, alcohol-ink, resin art 2015-2017 worked as an individual entrepreneur: book illustration, design 2012-2015 architect-designer, Russia.
