Artem Proot
13 itemsBorn in 1987 in Zaporizhzhia. Lives and works in Kyiv. Currently serving in the Azov brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.
Artem Proot is a Ukrainian artist whose practice explores the relationships between image, space, memory and perception.
His artistic language took shape gradually, passing through several distinct stages. His early works were closely tied to street culture, graphics, characters and figurative imagery. In this period Proot worked with more narrative and expressive compositions, developing a visual language that grew out of his teenage passion for street art and skateboarding.
From around 2017 the artist’s focus shifts. Characters gradually disappear, and the centre is taken by empty landscapes, interiors, architectural fragments, sports grounds, skate spots and other spaces. Human presence in these works is often felt indirectly — through the setting, traces of activity, scale and atmosphere.
Since 2021 Proot’s practice has become increasingly minimal and fragmentary. Familiar objects and settings are reduced to individual details, planes, lines and colour relationships. The tennis court series is a characteristic example of this period: the sports ground ceases to be merely a subject and becomes a structure for exploring rhythm, composition, texture and colour.
In his newer works Proot moves even further from the direct depiction of reality. Forms are simplified, cropped, layered, erased or partly dissolved, leaving the image in an intermediate state between recognisability and abstraction.
Rather than building a clear narrative, the artist creates open visual situations in which atmosphere, the inner rhythm of the work and the act of perception itself become central. His works leave room for uncertainty, association and personal interpretation.

Nick Broslavskiy
8 itemsNick Broslavskiy is a Kyiv-based artist and tattooer. He has worked in tattooing for more than a decade, alongside digital drawing and painting.

Nika Kan
7 itemsVeronika Kan (Nika Kan) is a contemporary artist of Korean origin. Born in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, in 1992, she has lived and worked in Kyiv since 2018. A visual artist and sculptor, she works predominantly in ceramics. Her art is a way to understand herself and the world around her: each piece explores inner states and emotions, the nature of human existence, the search for meaning in everyday life and the bond between a person and the world. Her practice is intuitive — through form, texture and image she tells the story of a personality that changes over the years.
Nazar Pavlyshyn
6 itemsNazar Pavlyshyn is an artist who explores subconscious processes, internal conflicts, and the interconnections of the surrounding world through abstraction. His works combine personal experiences with universal meanings, where color, form, and composition become tools for self-analysis and emotional dialogue.
His education in architecture and scenography formed an analytical approach to space and composition. Working with scale, balance, and rhythm laid the foundation for his visual language, where form and color became tools for emotional tension and deep expressiveness.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, his focus has shifted to exploring internal experiences, psychological states, and adaptation in times of crisis. His works have become more emotionally intense, reflecting the shifting states of consciousness and the struggle for balance. Abstraction in his works became a way to capture these states, inviting the viewer to personal interpretations.
Valentyne Metyk
6 itemsValentyne Metyk was born in 1992 in Kryvyi Rih. He studied painting, drawing and anatomy through private lessons. He has been taking part in exhibitions since 2015, and has lived and worked in Kyiv since 2019.
The visual language of my work is shaped by three colours — blue, red and purple. Blue stands for inner harmony, spiritual growth and unity with the world. Red stands for devastation, degradation and destructive energy. Purple, which appeared during the war, embodies a state of choice — the moment when a person stands between light and darkness.
I work with symbolism. My human figures have only mouths and ears — they listen and spread information, but they cannot see.
The eye is the main symbol of awareness. It appears both in those who choose the path of inner growth and in those who cultivate destructive energy. Its shape changes depending on the path chosen.
My practice is grounded in personal experience and explores a person's inner states, their spiritual transformations and the constant choice between light and darkness.

In 2005 he co-founded the duo Interesni Kazki with Aec; their surreal murals, combining mythology, symbolism and refined painterly technique, appeared from Australia to Mexico and from San Francisco to Kyiv. Since 2016 he has worked independently in painting and sculpture, exploring metaphysical themes through symbolic systems, mythology and philosophical inquiry in dense, highly detailed compositions.
He has collaborated with Hermès, his works have sold at Christie’s and are held by the Fondation Maeght. Since 2013–2014 he has been developing Time for Change, a series of public works on transformation, collective memory and cultural identity — some of which have become defining images of Ukrainian public space.
