My name is Katia Solodka and I am a Ukrainian artist. I have been passionate about painting since early childhood.
In 2012, I graduated from the Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design in Kyiv. Since then, I have fallen in love with abstract art. It gives me the freedom to create a colorful world full of flowers and blossoms.
In my work, I explore the subtle nature of human emotions – anxiety, tenderness, memory, loss and hope. Color and floral motifs become my language – universal, gentle, able to convey what is difficult to express in words. Flowers for me are not only beauty, but also a metaphor for an inner state, a symbol of fluidity, vulnerability and strength.

A separate part of my search is the theme of emigration. Since 2022, after the start of the war in Ukraine, I have been living and working in the Netherlands. This experience leaves a deep emotional mark: alienation, adaptation, acceptance of a new culture, an attempt to preserve oneself, weaving the old into the new. My works are a dialogue between past and present, between loss and discovery.

I strive to create a space in which the viewer can encounter their own emotions – to hear themselves and understand.

Feel free to explore my work and reach out if you have any questions!
