Collage Art Portfolio. This portfolio presents a body of analogue collage works created from found printed materials. The works explore identity, memory, social roles, and the structures of everyday life through fragmentation, repetition, and recomposition. Each collage is assembled by hand, allowing time, physical engagement, and imperfection to remain visible within the final image. You can download the Halyna Klepikovska's Collage Art Booklet:

In 2024 , I took part in another exhibition at Merlina Art Gallery  - a place that had already become familiar and meaningful to me since my first exhibition in the UK.

One year after my first solo exhibition, I presented a new project - an oil portrait exhibition titled “Women”  - held in March 2021  in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. The exhibition took place during a difficult period. The COVID-19 pandemic had already changed everyday life, imposed restrictions, and created constant uncertainty. Organising an exhibition at that time required flexibility, patience, and trust — from both the institution and the audience. Despite these challenges, the ex

My first solo exhibition, titled “What Is Inside” , took place in February 2020  in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, at the House of Ukrainian Culture . The exhibition ran from February 3 to February 22, 2020 , with an official opening on February 4 . It presented a series of works created using paper cut, textile, and layered techniques , focusing on inner states, vulnerability, memory, and what usually remains unseen. The central visual motif of the exhibition was an apple  - not as a sy

Before entering university, I spent three formative years studying at the Zhytomyr College of Culture and Arts .This period became the real foundation of my artistic practice — technically, intellectually, and emotionally.

I completed my Master’s degree in Design  in 2021–2022 , graduating as a qualified Master of Design.That period was demanding, intense, and deeply formative - not only academically, but personally.
