Tanya Devichenska

My name is Tetiana Devichenska
I’m a multidisciplinary artist from Ukraine, currently based in Germany.
I work with painting, drawing, and mixed media, using both dry and oil-based techniques, primarily on canvas. I am interested in exploring materials and approaches rather than limiting myself to one fixed method.

My practice includes three different artistic styles, each reflecting a different way of working and thinking. At the core of my work is contemporary figurative art. Alongside this, I explore other visual directions that allow me to shift tone, rhythm, and narrative. I see this multiplicity not as fragmentation, but as a natural part of my artistic language.

My paintings often contain quiet, hidden stories connected to personal experience, emotional cycles, and recurring inner states. The human figure appears in my work, but it is not the main focus. I treat it as one element among others — in dialogue with space, atmosphere, and details. I am more interested in relationships within the painting than in highlighting a single dominant subject.

In 2015, I participated in an academic program at UDK University in Berlin. I completed my formal art education in Ukraine, graduating from the university in Pereiaslav-Khmelnyt...
