About Belyaeva Oleksandra

I was born in 1992 in Novoukrainka, Kirovohrad Region, Ukraine. After receiving a higher education in art and participating in several university and Ukrainian academic exhibitions, I fell in love with the aesthetics of tattoos on human skin. In 2009, I began to make tattoos and focused on creating a career in the tattoo industry, receiving about 10 awards at tattoo conventions and festivals. 

However, in 2023, I returned to painting and started a career in art. Academicism and tattoos have had a huge impact on me and left a mark on my visual style. 

In my art, I explore the theme of human identity, the place of humans in nature and their impact on the environment, particularly the negative effects of human activity on nature. In my religion, the greatest deity is pure love — the strongest emotion that can change every cell of the body on a physical and hormonal level and, in its maximum manifestation, can change and save the world. Therefore, I often talk about self-love and nurture my love for nature. It is the essence of life and, for me, a constant source of inspiration. I feel that I must draw attention to ecological problems to awaken the same strong feeling in the viewer.
