Krystyna Melnyk

Krystyna Melnyk

Krystyna Melnyk was born in Melitopol, Ukraine, in 1993. Her foundational training in the arts took place at the Melitopol High College of Culture (2010-2014) and continued at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture (2014-2018). She also attended the Contemporary Art Course at the Kyiv Academy of Media Arts.

In 2019, Melnyk completed a course on video art at Viktor Marushchenko's School of Photography, curated by Alina Kleytman. In 2022, she was nominated for the Pinchuk Art Prize.

In her practice, Melnyk explores the dual power of images, aiming to convey the sensation of the sacred through the concept of the suffering body. She perceives her works as icons, incorporating gesso, a traditional material for icon painting.
