About

ZOZULKA is the artistic practice of Anastasiia, a Ukrainian artist, illustrator, and designer based in Poland.

My work explores memory, psychological states, and the emotional impact of lived experience. I work intuitively across illustration, drawing, digital media, and textile-based processes, allowing each medium to respond to a different inner or external narrative.

I am interested in how everyday objects carry personal and collective meaning, and how they can be reworked into visual forms that hold tension, softness, and story.

​

Practice

My practice moves between illustration, print, textiles, and object-making.

I use drawing, embroidery, and material interventions to reinterpret familiar objects and images. Each work becomes a space where personal experience, observation, and emotion meet.

​

Ties Project (2025)

The Ties Project is a series of hand-embroidered objects that explore identity, intimacy, and emotional expression.

Working with second-hand ties, I rework materials that already carry cultural and personal associations. Through embroidery, they shift from symbols of structure and formality into personal, intuitive narratives.

Each piece is unique — carrying traces of emotion, memory, and gesture.

​

ZOZULKA Today

ZOZULKA exists at the intersection of art and design — a practice that translates memory, emotion, and everyday material into visual and tactile forms.

ARTIST BIO

I am a Ukrainian illustrator and visual artist based in Poland, working across illustration, children’s books, and experimental mixed media.

My practice combines drawing, painting, digital techniques, and textile-based processes. I work intuitively, valuing freedom in drawing and the physicality of materials.

My work is rooted in personal and social experience — exploring psychological states, displacement, and the emotional impact of the world around me. Through symbolic and narrative imagery, I translate what I feel and observe into visual form.

I present my work in exhibitions and creative markets, where direct interaction and dialogue with people become an important part of my process.

Each illustration carries a part of me — my thoughts, emotions, and way of seeing.
