Daryna Nesterenko

Daryna Nesterenko is a Ukrainian artist who has been living and creating in Poland for several years. Her art focuses mainly on emotions and spiritual transformations, and the topics she ad- dresses include life and death, love, and personal growth. In her works, the artist combines metaphor with traditional forms of expression, emphasizing the value of life by conveying fleeting, and sometimes even final, moments.
Daryna draws inspiration from nature, dance, and Eastern philosophy. She has never learned to paint in a traditional way because she loves to experiment and discover her own tech- niques. Throughout her life, the artist has been searching for her own painting style, prioritizing painting with emotions rather than rules.
Currently, Daryna lives and works in Warsaw, where she has been pursuing her career as a professional artist, psychologist, and art therapist since 2018. As part of her activities, she con- ducts workshops and painting classes, focusing on helping people paint with their hearts and souls, rather than just cor- rectly. Her paintings are exhibited and published in galleries throughout Europe and are also sold at Polish auction houses.
