Hi, my name is Walentyna. I am originally from Brest, Belarus, and since 2012 I have been living in Poland - first in Lublin, where I studied, and then in Poznań, and now in Wrocław, which has become my home and place of creative development 💗

I am a food technologist by education, but it is art that has become my greatest passion. For several years I have been creating works in the technique of décollage, and I combine the creative process with electronic music, especially hard techno - it is the rhythm of this music that influences the pace and emotion of my work. Creating gives me space to express myself, organize my thoughts and build a dialogue with others 😸

I highly appreciate openness, empathy and sincerity. I enjoy meeting people, talking, cooking together and exchanging experiences. I believe that travel is not only about places, but most importantly about the relationships and stories that are created through them 🫂

For the past two years I have been working at the OP ENHEIM contemporary art gallery in Wrocław, where I learn something new every day and have a chance to co-create a space for artistic activities and meetings.

I love spontaneous trips, contemporary art exhibitions, raves and cozy cafes. If we meet - I'd love to listen to your story and tell you mine. Maybe we will discover something new together?

If you want a closer look at my world, I invite you to follow me on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/w.shaiko
