Sydney-based Multidisciplinary Artist, Certified Trainer and Assessor in Visual Arts.

Valeriia works across painting, printmaking, video, sound, and mixed-media installation to explore how material records memory. Field research and direct observation anchor each project, from mixing desert pigments in Fowlers Gap (Celadon, Arid Zone, Elements) to fixing a lost coastline in cyanotype blues (Bittersweet) and mapping shifting alphabets in text-based works (More Than One Thing). Guided by essentialism, balance, and measured manual labour, she pares every gesture to its core, allowing the dialogue between body, place, and process to remain visible.

Moving between painting, experimental print, video, and sound installation, she investigates how material processes can hold memory, place, and shifting language. Field observations—desert pigments, coastal light, handwritten alphabets—are distilled into essential marks, keeping the labour of making visible.

Valeriia is completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at UNSW Art & Design and has exhibited at UNSW’s AD Space as well as other galleries across New South Wales. Her work is represented in private collections in Australia and Europe. Alongside her studio practice, she tutors in watercolour and mixed-media at a Sydney art school, maintaining a dynamic exchange between teaching and research.
