Dzvinya Podlyashetska (Dzvi)

Ukrainian Artist based in Vienna

My work grows out of emotion, intuition, and the need to transform inner experiences into images. I paint to understand myself and this world full both of absurd and beauty.

Art, for me, is a way back to myself and a way to stay open to others by giving shape to feelings that are often too complex or fragile for words.

“Life in Humor and Sadness”

This works is a visual journey through the contrasts of human existence, where laughter and pain, naïveté and the harshness of reality intertwine in a shared space. Grotesque characters, organic forms, and vibrant colors create a dynamic scene in which every element tells its own story. Here, humans and nature merge into one, absurdity and reality coexist, and love becomes the force that unites even the most opposing elements. Through irony and metaphor, the painting explores the paradoxes of the world, inviting the viewer to discover their own meanings within this chaotic yet harmonious universe.
