Yuliia Naumenko

Yuliia Naumenko is a Ukrainian visual artist based in Szczecin, Poland. Self-taught, she began developing her painting practice in 2023. Working with acrylic, drawing and hand embroidery on canvas, she explores the connections between people and the natural world, memory, heritage and belonging.

Her work is inspired by plants, birds, Ukrainian traditions and the knowledge passed between generations. Through detailed imagery and the integration of thread into painted surfaces, she reflects on the relationship between nature, identity and the places we carry within us, even when we are far from home.
