About Ksenia Sulaeva
Ksenia Sulaeva (born 1995, Rubizhne, Luhansk region, Ukraine) is a visual artist based in Tallinn, Estonia.
She started drawing in early childhood. Her first introduction to visual art came through her father, who was also an artist and provided her initial training. From the age of eight, Sulaeva studied at the Children’s Art School in Rubizhne, where she completed eight years of formal art education.
In 2011, she enrolled in the College of the Luhansk State Academy of Culture and Arts named after M. Matusovsky (LGAKKI), specialising in easel painting. In 2015, she continued her education at the Lviv National Academy of Arts (LNAA) , Department of Monumental Painting, where her studies focused on large-scale composition, structure, and pictorial thinking. She graduated from the Academy in 2019.
Later in 2019, Sulaeva moved to Tallinn, Estonia, where she completed a volunteer programme at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre (UKK) in the Old Town, contributing as an artist. After the programme, she remained in Estonia and began developing her professional artistic practice.
Since then, she has been working as a painter, producing works in a range of formats from monumental canvases to small-scale paintings. Alongside her studio practice, she has participated in exhibitions, conducted workshops related to her painting approach, and created wall paintings. She continues to develop her technique and personal visual language through ongoing work and exhibition activity.
She currently lives and works in Estonia.
Artist statement
Ksenia Sulaeva’s work is a dynamic fusion of monumental painting and pop art, distinguished by bold compositions and a striking color palette. Her large-scale paintings command attention, inviting the viewer into a visual dialogue that transcends the boundaries of the canvas. Combining traditional techniques with contemporary themes, she creates artworks that are both timeless and distinctly modern.
At the core of her practice lies a deep exploration of human resilience, transformation, and the emotional spectrum. Her works capture the intensity of human experiences—joy, sorrow, and redemption—amplified through expressive brushstrokes and powerful imagery. A significant focus of her art is the feminine experience, depicting themes of strength, vulnerability, and identity.
Her visual language is further enriched by her admiration for the wild nature of Southern Spain and the lush landscapes of Estonia, where she currently resides. These influences infuse her works with warmth, richness, and a connection between human narratives and nature’s cycles of growth, decay, and rebirth.
Through color, scale, and storytelling, her paintings become statements on emotion, identity, and the ever-evolving human condition—a testament to both personal and collective transformation.
