Technique
Started working in the paper cutting technique regularly in 2015, previously studied paper properties and tools out of interest.
Paper cutting is an ancient technique of creating delicate and intricate works using only colored paper and knives or scissors. It is traditional in many countries, most prevalent in China, Japan, and Ukraine. In my works, I strive to create modern graphics using this ancient and somewhat forgotten technique.
Exhibitions and Projects
Currently had 5 solo exhibitions and participated in group projects.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, took part in numerous charity events and auctions, offering her works for sale to support the army.
