Ruslana Nosák (USSR, 1991)
My work reflects a lifelong journey through different places, each of which has shaped and expanded my artistic vision.
Rooted in architecture, my career began with structured forms, but I have always felt the pull towards painting as my true vocation. Over the years I've explored a range of mediums including acrylic, oil, watercolour, ink, epoxy, pastel, pencil, 3D modelling, digital and VR, embracing each for its unique expressive qualities.
My experience spans illustration, teaching drawing, painting and composition, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of both technique and form.
In 2020 I moved from Moscow to Berlin, where my practice evolved to focus on the emotional landscapes of migrant life.
My work depicts the psychological and cultural complexities faced by individuals adapting to new countries and identities.
In 2021, I embarked on a journey through eleven countries, continuing to explore themes of belonging and transience.
This journey reinforced my realisation that no matter where I am, I remain a visitor - even in my home country. For me, this sense of transience and the search for 'home' is an ongoing narrative that leaves my story, and my art, open-ended.
