Sofiia Hadelshyna

Sofiia Hadelshyna is an artist from Kharkiv, born in 2002. From 2014 to 2019, she attended a children’s art school, where she received her foundational art education and developed a strong interest in painting.

“I am an artist who is deeply passionate about art because, for me, it is a way of understanding the world and myself. Painting is the language through which I express what cannot always be put into words: mood, silence, tension, light, and inner states.

I am inspired by landscapes and female figures. In nature, I find calmness and rhythm; in images of women, I see depth, strength, and emotional complexity. Through my work, I strive to convey not only external form but, above all, a feeling — a moment in which one can pause and be alone with oneself.

My art is a dialogue with the viewer. I want each piece to evoke an emotion, a response, or a memory, becoming a space for personal reflection and inner light.”

In 2019, she enrolled at the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, and in 2024 she completed her Master’s degree with a specialization in easel painting.
