Taras Haida is a Ukrainian artist who works with oil painting and digital collage. His art explores the subconscious and turns inner reflections, feelings, and associations into fragmented visual stories. His works often exist in a space between dream and reality, where uncertainty becomes part of the language of the image.

Haida's work is based on psychological observation and self-reflection. He looks at how the mind reacts to emotional and sensory experiences and how thoughts can break apart and form into new meanings. Using glitch, fragmentation, and shifting compositions, he creates works that feel like dreams, flashes of memory, or moments of heightened perception. Figures and forms dissolve into soft tones and abstract contours, capturing the fluid nature of human consciousness.

Taras Haida was born in 1993 in the village of Kariv, Lviv region, Ukraine. He currently lives and works between Kyiv and Lviv. Working mainly with oil painting and digital collage, he has participated in many exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad. His solo projects include "Mimicry" (2019), "Essence" (2020), and "Frequency" (2021). In 2021, one of his works entered the collection of the National Museum "Kyiv Art Gallery".

Haida is interested in the subconscious and how inner perception shapes what we see and feel. Working intuitively, he transforms emotional states and impressions into expressive compositions. Many of his works appear fragmented, suspended, or shifted in space, much like dream logic or uncontrolled mental images.

He has shown his works internationally, including exhibitions in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Jerusalem, Taipei, Warsaw, and Budapest. His art has also appeared at major art fairs such as Art Market Budapest and (Un)Fair Milano.

Haida often paints scenes with figures, animals, or objects seen through distortion or instability. His use of glitch, deformation, and fragmentation makes the images look as if they are unfolding in real time, caught between forming and falling apart. Soft tonal shifts and smooth contours bring a sense of calm, even when the subject feels uncertain.

His paintings can be viewed as reflections on how the mind processes experience — how thoughts separate, transform, and build new internal landscapes.

Among artists' original paintings are "Bouquet", "Vacuum", "The Strayed", "Dream Inside Out" (all — 2024), "Behind the Scenes" (2025). These Taras Haida's works for sale are available on the UFDA website. 

Haida' visual language is built on fragmentation, glitch effects, and dream-like compositions. His works feel fluid and shifting rather than fixed, showing perception in motion. Instead of offering a stable image, Haida allows the viewer to experience the uncertainty of memory, thought, and emotion — the way inner life continually changes and rebuilds itself.
