About The Artwork
expand_more
Talisman is a striking sculptural wall piece by Anastasia Mykolayska Shutka that interweaves protective symbolism with modern geometric form. Constructed from stacked and staggered MDF columns, each surface is meticulously wrapped in vivid embroidery using traditional Ukrainian cross-stitch patterns. The palette—bold blues and golden yellows—evokes both cultural heritage and national pride.
Framed in a minimalist black backing and enclosed in smooth acrylic plastic, Talisman stands as both an abstract totem and a contemporary artifact. Its architectural structure contrasts beautifully with the intricate, hand-embroidered surfaces, resulting in a multidimensional work that bridges past and present. Charged with spiritual meaning and visual power, Talisman is a tribute to resilience, identity, and the protective strength of tradition.

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.
