When Contemporary Collage Art Becomes a Subject of Academic Research

Collage Art as a Psychological and Ecological Practice of Self-Integration

In October 2025, the IX International Scientific and Theoretical Conference “The Driving Force of Science and Trends in Its Development” took place in London, United Kingdom.

In the official conference proceedings, a peer-reviewed academic article was published that analyzes my artistic practice and collage work from a cultural, psychological, and ecological perspective.

The article is titled:“Fragments of Being: Collage Art as a Psychological and Ecological Practice of Self-Integration in the Work of Halyna Klepikovska (Kysil)”Author: I. Fedorenko Section: Culture and Art Pages: 309–311

The research examines my collage practice as:

• a method of psychological self-integration,

• an ecological artistic approach based on working with existing printed materials,

• and a visual exploration of fragmentation, memory, and identity.

For me, this publication matters not as a form of validation, but as a moment of alignment: when an intuitive, analog, and materially grounded artistic process is articulated within an academic framework — without simplification or decorative interpretation.

The conference proceedings are published under an open-access license and are available online here:https://previous.scientia.report/index.php/archive/issue/view/17.10.2025 page 309-311 article about Halyna Klepikovska's Art

I continue working slowly, attentively, and consistently - allowing the work to speak for itself, sometimes in the language of art, and sometimes in the language of research.
