Mariia Vasylenko

Artist creates painterly objects on boards made from reclaimed wood. In her works, the sacred and the everyday intersect, as do myth and an unpredictable reality. These objects exist both within walls and beyond them—at times as deliberately “senseless” glitches that disrupt habitual perception, and at others as an attempt to process civilizational ruptures, war, technologization, and personal experience.

Mariia Vasylenko (b. 2001, Kyiv, Ukraine) is an artist who lives and works in Kyiv.

She studied at an art school, later at the Kyiv College of Art and Design, and subsequently at the Boychuk Academy, specializing in monumental art. She also deepened her practice in icon painting through workshops at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. In addition, she holds a degree in philosophy.
