UFDA's Articles: Insights into Ukraine's Art and Culture 83

UFDA continues its mission to preserve the country’s creative legacy. We are excited to announce that artist Taras Haida is the latest addition to our online archive.

У живописі Катерини Лисовенко тіло стає місцем зустрічі особистого досвіду і великої історії. Її роботи поєднують феміністичну оптику, релігійну образність і політичну рефлексію над насильством, війною та людською природою. У цій розмові художниця розповідає про різницю між мистецькою освітою в Україні та Австрії, про роботу в міжнародному контексті, про зміну власної художньої мови після 2022 року і про те, чому сьогодні для неї важливо "малювати вразливість".

In Kateryna Lysovenko's painting, the body becomes a site where personal experience meets grand history. Her works bring together a feminist perspective, religious imagery, and a political reflection on violence, war, and human nature. In this conversation, the artist speaks about the differences between art education in Ukraine and Austria, working within an international context, the transformation of her artistic language after 2022, and why it is important for her today to "paint vulnerability".
