Delnara was born in Ukraine. How the artist works with the polysemy of the concept of "migration", searches for new facets of a multicultural and multiethnic world community. Dynamic perception, the rejection of settled life, migration - in her artistic practice, these are tools for the re-actualization of the "mental map", a way to see more clearly, resetting again and again the automaticity of perception. Nomadism as an instrument of cognition and estrangement, a hormone of fresh perception, transferred to the field of art, allows you to leave room for a miracle, for the manifestation of life itself. For the last 9 years she has been living and working on a continuous journey (more than 30 countries in Europe and Southeast Asia). Since 2020 lives mainly in Turkey.
After the start of the war in Ukraine, reflections on painful events appear in her artistic practice. Delnara is a research-based artist who approaches historical and political moments through the lens of the natural world. The main medium is painting, collage and film photography. Works with watercolor, acrylic, mixed media.
