BIO

Kateryna Kutsevol (b. 1976) is a Ukrainian artist based in Germany. Working with photography and collage, her practice explores themes of memory, identity, longing, and human presence through symbolic and minimal visual language.

In 2023, she was selected among the Top 100 Photographers by Duncan Miller Gallery. The same year, she received the Silver Award in the People/Self-Portrait category at the Budapest International Foto Awards (BIFA), won 3rd place at the ND Awards, and received the award for Genesis of Being at the Cutout Collage Festival in Lviv, Ukraine.

Artists statement

While the war in my country continues and I am forced to stay away from my home, family, and friends, I am determined to loudly proclaim the sincerity, freedom-loving spirit, culture, and development of my Ukraine in any way I can.

My profession, hobby, and passion is photography. My experience includes winning international competitions, participating in exhibitions, including solo exhibitions, collaborating with galleries, and teaching. I know that photography can, if not change the world, at least influence viewers’ perspectives, thoughts, consciousness, or certain decisions.

That is why I show the world my soul through photographs and collages, as a part of the soul of my entire Ukraine. Today, I have set myself the task of sharing our yearning, the desire of Ukrainians to live freely, to create a cultural, educated state that respects itself, values others, and strives for development and peaceful growth

My photographic compositions are defined by their pursuit of minimalism, adorned with concise details, symbolic focal points, and inventive color combinations. At times, my work ventures into the realm of surrealism. I draw inspiration from esteemed artists like Kenne Gregoire, Richard Avedon, Kristin Vestgard, Sara Moon, Alex Prager, Alex Russell, and Max Ernst
