Nikita Tsoi was born in 1991 in Kyiv, Ukraine.
He graduated from two art schools, the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture, and the Kyiv Academy of Media Arts.
The artist works on constructing the historical narrative of the post-ideological climate of recent decades. He views the individual as a bearer of ideological consciousness, seeking its own basis and exploring its acceptance and dissonance with itself. This is a search for the boundary between the anatomical and anti-anatomical, between truth and the distortion of truth.
