Olena Derda

I live and work in Uzgorod , Ukraine. Since 2014, I have been teaching at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Transcarpathian Academy of Arts.
Textile collage is not only technique in which I work, but also a way of perceiving the world.
Dreams, we’ve caught ... Fairytales ... New worlds - a collage of impressions and symbols...
We create this game, but sometimes it seems the game creates us.
