Yaroslav Paraponiak

I am a contemporary Ukrainian artist working across sculpture and painting. I hold a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts from the Ceramics Department at Lviv National Academy of Arts.

My work explores material decay, the fragility of beauty, and the tension between surface and inner substance. Working with rusted metal and concrete, I allow natural processes and imperfections to become part of the artwork.

Through the recurring image of the human torso, I reflect on vulnerability and the way identity is often reduced to appearance in contemporary culture.
