ART AND PRACTICE.

Yeseniia's art is anchored in themes of war, displacement, survival and loss. Her work transforms her lived experiences and those of others affected by the war into visual language.

Working across painting, drawing and miniature model-making she builds small-scale yet powerful visual worlds. These models don't require long explanations: they speak directly. Through them she reconstructs cities, streets, homes - showing before and after, life and devastation. Her work tries to convey what it feels like to lose everything: childhood, home, life.

A prime example is her 2024 miniature model titled "Stripped of Everything" that was part of the group exhibition at Palace of Westminster.

The piece is a haunting depiction of Ukrainian cities devastated by the war: ruined residential areas; a burnt-out van marked "Children" remembering those who tried to escape; a broken playground symbolizing lost childhoods. Through stark contrast - life versus death - the model confronts viewers with the reality of war's human cost.

Through her art, Yeseniia aims to give voice to those who had no say, to remind the world of the innocent lives affected, and to preserve memory before it's lost. Her practice is not just personal - it's a call to awareness, empathy and remembrance. It's art that refuses silence.

For the miniature models, she primarily works with recycled or everyday materials - including styrofoam, plastic, cardboard, paper, sponges etc.
