Yana Stefanyshyn (Яна Стефанишин) (Ukraine)
Jana Stefanyshyn
is an artist, photographer, and graphic designer born in 1987 in the Odesa region, Ukraine. She graduated from the Lviv National Academy of Arts and works primarily in the genre of nude and portrait painting. In her artistic practice she examines human existence in the context of space and time. Compositions and images embodied in her photo projects reflect the unconscious and the irrational, and acquire new, even more dynamic and abstract forms. She participated in a number of international exhibitions and competitions, and her work was presented at solo photographic exhibitions (2014 and 2019).
She is a member of the National Union of Photographic Artists of Ukraine (since 2016) and works as a cultural manager at the non-profit organization D.O.M 48.24 in Ivano-Frankivsk.
Yana Stefanyshyn takes part in an Emergency Residency, a project of monthly residencies for Ukrainian artists, established in reaction to Russia's military aggression in Ukraine in 2022. This residency is organized with the financial support of Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in partnership with culture.pl, Zachęta – National Gallery of Art and Centre of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko. Project is supported by Meta Company.
