„Гуцулка“ / The Hutsulka
/ Danylo Kovach, 2021
The Hutsulka (Гyцyлкa) is a popular Ukrainian folk dance from southwestern Ukraine. It is performed by amateurs, professional Ukrainian dance ensembles and other performers of folk dances. This dance is performed at every Hutsul wedding to this day. Parents teach even very young children how to dance to keep old traditions going, because it’s a huge part of Hutsul culture.

Dzvinya Podlyashetska
born 1994 in Lviv, Ukraine / My artistic practice is centered around expressive paintings and works on paper composed on the foundation of a great interest in mental health, human interactions and emotions. I’ve always been an artist who takes inspiration from the inside. I experience each of my paintings and try to convey my feelings and emotions. The inspiration comes to me from both small everyday moments and large existential and political issues. Her works of art are manifestations and representations of life, portrayed in a colorful and sarcastic way with a constant presence of ambiguity: The complicated and the easy, the tragic and the funny. My work has a great deal of violence and anger but it is conveyed in a comic and colorful way as if to deflect or rob some of the power of the cruelty that you see around. I just show in my paintings how life and society impact our lives, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a very bad way. For me it is important to see light during dark days, I always try to find it, that’s why I paint with bright paint dark things.
