BIOGRAPHY / CURRICULUM VITAE

Zarinka Soiko was born and raised in the special region of Ukraine – its west part. At some point realized that she could remake and reinvent her own perceiving of the world in totally different terms, contrary to those which everyone has for granted. That's what led her to the particular state of mind – artist. Uses the circle as a universal means of approaching everything that is perceived by the senses. She tries to recreate the aesthetics of some things without explaining it. Considers the aesthetics of things to be their core.

She participated in number of exhibitions in Ukraine and Asia, she held four solo exhibitions in Ukraine and some international online art projects. Some of her artworks have become personal collections in Ukraine, Czech Republic, USA, Brazil, Lebanon, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Spain, Hong Kong, and Australia. Besides that she has also made music album covers, book illustrations, clothing designs, murals and social spaces visuals.
"The art has no center and no edges" – a little credo which leads to the fact that there is no border between the real and the imaginary in her artworks.
