My name is Anastasia Usenko, I was born in Ukraine/Kyiv in 1994.

My first experience as an artist happened when I was 5 years old, when my mother brought home a large roll of paper from her work as a set designer, and I could tear off pieces from it and draw freely. It was during this period that I realized that I wanted to continue my career in this field.

I entered an art school, where I received a secondary education in painting.
She then continued her studies at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv, where she completed her master's deree at the easel graphics department.
It was here that I expanded my knowledge in many graphic techniques, such as etching, linocut, monotype, xylography, mixing techniques, book illustration.

I work mainly with large formats, writing works on "bare" fabrics of various textures and colors without using a canvas primer. I experiment a lot with materials, I often write on fabrics that have been used, for example, on sheets and. etc.
The basis of my art is the figurative/body through which I broadcast important messages and contexts.
After February 24, 2022, I evacuated from the war in Ukraine to Sweden.
I live and work in Sweden.

The paintings of Anastasiia Usenko are in private collections in Ukraine, Sweden, Canada, USA, Spain, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Lithuania.
