HEY THERE! I’M DARIA ANTYP, A VISUAL ARTIST AND ILLUSTRATOR FROM UKRAINE. MY WORK REVOLVES AROUND THEMES LIKE HOME, NOSTALGIA, LOSS, AND THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING DISPLACED. HAVING GONE THROUGH FORCED MIGRATION, THESE FEELINGS ARE VERY PERSONAL TO ME AND SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE WHAT I CREATE.

 

I LOVE TELLING STORIES THROUGH VARIOUS FORMS OF ART—WHETHER IT’S ILLUSTRATIONS, PAINTINGS, COMICS, OR CERAMICS. I AIM TO UNCOVER DEEPER MEANINGS IN MY WORK.

 

WITH MY ART, I HOPE TO CREATE A WELCOMING SPACE FOR ANYONE WHO FEELS LIKE AN OUTSIDER, ESPECIALLY THOSE SEARCHING FOR A SENSE OF HOME OR TRYING TO HOLD ON TO MEMORIES. FOR ME, ART IS A POWERFUL WAY TO EXPRESS EMOTIONS WHEN WORDS FALL SHORT AND TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS THROUGH GENUINE AND VISUAL STORYTELLING.
