MRIYA

MRIYA is a visionary Ukrainian artist whose multifaceted work explores the intersections of personal memory, national identity, and collective hope. Born in Kyiv and shaped by the country’s dynamic cultural landscape, MRIYA fuses elements of traditional Ukrainian folklore with contemporary visual languages, creating evocative pieces that transcend borders and time. With a background in both fine arts and digital media, MRIYA seamlessly blends painting, mixed media, and installation art, forging a powerful narrative about resilience and dreams—aptly reflected in the artist’s chosen moniker, which translates to “dream” or “aspiration” in Ukrainian.

Through exhibitions across Europe and collaborative projects with grassroots Ukrainian organizations, MRIYA has emerged as a prominent voice in the post-Maidan generation, using art to echo the enduring spirit and aspirations of Ukraine.
