About Katya Timoshenko

 
 
  • Biography
    I am a London-based multimedia artist whose work explores storytelling through image, memory, and material. Working primarily in printmaking, I create layered narratives that combine personal experience with symbolism, humour, and introspection. My multi-plate colour etchings unfold through successive layers of colour and texture, allowing images to emerge gradually and reflect the shifting nature of memory and identity. I am a Member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE), and my practice brings together traditional printmaking processes with contemporary visual storytelling.

    Alongside printmaking, my work includes painting on glass and the creation of small sculptural pieces influenced by seventeenth-century iconography and devotional imagery. These historical references form a dialogue between past and present, where reflective surfaces, transparency, and repetition become tools for exploring perception and emotional experience.

    My work draws on personal mythology, Ukrainian and wider Slavic folk traditions, and philosophical fables. Recurring figures, animals, and symbolic elements act as emotional carriers within the image, addressing themes of duality, vulnerability, resilience, and the quiet humour found in everyday human experience. Through this approach, personal narratives are translated into images that aim to feel both intimate and universal.

    Alongside my studio practice, I work as a Technical Tutor in Print, supporting artists and students in developing their own approaches to printmaking. Being part of Artfinder has allowed me to connect with an international audience and share this storytelling-led practice with collectors who value works that carry both technical depth and personal meaning.

    Event: Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022

    Dates: 21 Jun 2022 - 21 Aug 2022

    Venue: Royal Academy of Arts, Picadilly, London

    Summer at the RA is not just a time of year, it’s the world’s most joyful art experience. Run without interruption since 1769, the Summer Exhibition showcases art in all forms, from prints, painting, film and photography, to architectural works and sculpture by invited artists, Royal Academicians and emerging talent.

    After two years in winter, it’s back where it should be. The theme chosen by the exhibition’s coordinator, Alison Wilding RA, is ‘Climate’. Whether as a crisis or opportunity, or simply our everyday experience, it is an all-embracing subject.

    Whether you’re an experience seeker, a budding art collector or a culture-craving family, we know you’ll find the art for you: the exhibition features two rooms of prints selected by Grayson Perry RA, a structure made of elephant dung bricks, and new work by the Singh Twins. Outside this year is a large-scale immersive installation bringing nature and water to the courtyard, by Spanish artist Cristina Iglesias.
