About Kateryna Kostyk

 
 
  • Biography
    My practice is rooted in traditional drawing, working primarily with graphite and charcoal. I am drawn to the simplicity of black and white, which allows me to focus entirely on emotion, atmosphere, and concept without the distraction of color. Through this medium I aim to reveal the depth of an image and open the soul of the work to the viewer.
    Much of my inspiration comes from everyday life — small, sincere, and often overlooked moments. I see art as a way of preserving these fleeting impressions and reminding people of what is truly valuable: a connection with nature, the beauty of imperfection, and the quiet joy that lies in ordinary experiences.
    Each piece begins instinctively, then gradually develops through thoughtful refinement. Some ideas require the intimacy of a small format, while others expand into larger compositions, allowing space for reflection. My ultimate goal is to create works that encourage viewers to pause, to feel, and to discover harmony within themselves. Here, you enter the world as I see it — pause, and feel.
