My new online solo exhibition Living Spaces is open now.

This year began with a turbulent start: preparations for my first knee surgery, the cancellation of several planned exhibitions (including The Other Art Fair), and last‑minute preparations for a sudden move. In the midst of it all, “Living Spaces” found its form as a virtual show — a way to keep my work visible and alive, even when physical presence became impossible.

The exhibition, hosted by Promotion Gallery on Artsy, invites you into 29 intimate silk rooms that blur the boundaries between home, psyche, and dream. Each one is a space inhabited by images, memories, creatures and dreams.
The exhibition moves through four chapters:
Entrance → Home as Stage → Home as Psyche → Exit / Open Air

You can walk through 19 of the works in a full 3D virtual tour — or explore all 30 on Artsy.

This show has been a long time coming. I hope you find something that feels like home.

A beautiful new addition to the studio space. 🤍

I'm honored to be featured in "Interviews with Artists – Collectors’ Art Book Vol. 5" published by Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art. This limited-edition hardcover is curated for international art collectors, curators, and museums.

My interview, along with a full spread featuring my work "House of Cards," explores my journey translating narrative illustrations into silk-printed wearable art. It is truly special to see my practice presented in print alongside so many talented artists from around the world.

You can read the full interview online via the link in my bio or directly here:

I have always imagined scarves as architecture around the body, not just an accessory.
Here is my 2021 shoot at TSUM Kyiv, where I styled my silk scarf as a sweeping cloak over a coat, exploring volume, movement and that feeling of being wrapped in a portable artwork. Seeing Dior’s recent campaign with a large scarf worn as a cloak makes me feel that my intuition about form has been moving in the same direction as today’s couture storytelling.It’s a reminder that independent artists and big maisons can share the same visual language, each from our own place and history.
