Mariami Gubianuri

Mariami Gubianuri is a Ukrainian artist whose practice combines philosophical reflections on human existence with explorations of identity and the search for connections between humanity, nature, and the transcendent.

At the heart of her practice is humanity, seemingly experiencing the moment of its own creation over and over again, discovering the world as if for the first time. The artist draws on biblical motifs of creation and explores the relationships between the human and the divine, the visible and the invisible. She is also interested in the human presence in the physical world, which, despite its materiality, remains full of mystery and uncertainty.

Through collage and appliqué, Mariami brings together different materials, textures, and fragments, exploring the possibility of wholeness in a fragmented world. In her works, visible traces of cuts, seams, and layers become part of her artistic language, while the human figure emerges as an open and unfinished form. She works in mixed media, combining paper and fabric with watercolour, ink, pastel, and pen.

Mariami graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and completed an art management course at Kyiv Academy of Media Arts (KAMA). Within a year and a half of active artistic practice, her works have entered private collections in Ukraine and abroad.
