Nataliya Antypina
The present life of Ukrainians consists of seemingly incompatible elements: constant anxiety, fear, uncertainty, adaptation, love, hope, support, leisure, work, suffering, happiness, and longing. Our emotions and experiences can shift every second. This instability creates an overall sense of fragmentation and disorientation. Yet, we strive to remain balanced, maintaining some harmony and equilibrium. We know that victory and a peaceful, better future await us. We nurture within ourselves steel flowers of hope. One day, they will bloom, weaving together our broken hearts and homes.
Nataliya Antypina lives and works in Kyiv. She creates ceramic sculptures using hand-building techniques.
Her artistic practice explores self-identity, emotional states, and personal and collective trauma. Working with ceramics as a sculptural medium, she focuses on the expressive potential of form, material, and meaning. Hand-building allows her to engage directly with both the physical and psychological dimensions of material and experience.
