About the artist

Anastasia Mykolayska Shutka is a London-born Ukrainian artist whose art focuses on Ukrainian culture and history. This theme emerged when Anastasia realized that having been raised in the UK, she did not feel as connected to her culture as she would have liked. Consequently, she took the initiative to research Ukraine's traditions and language, which began to influence her art.Growing up, Shutka was exposed to embroidery, model-making, and various other artistic practices that she enjoyed exploring. This led to a multidisciplinary approach to creation. Her work now encompasses painting and the use of laser cutters to produce 3D embroidered elements, drawing inspiration from folk and embroidery traditions. Her art is centered around Ukraine. It celebrates Ukrainians and explores Ukraine's independent and true identity.
