I am Denys Metelin, an artist born in Crimea. After the annexation of Crimea in 2014, I moved to Lviv, where I continued my studies and creative work. I started with graffiti in my teenage years and eventually expanded into painting, graphics, murals, and installations. In my works, I try to speak about what shapes me and my generation: the loss of home, war, the post-Soviet legacy, and the search for identity in a constantly changing world. For me, art is a way to preserve memory, to live through pain, and to transform it into an image that can touch others. In recent years, I have been increasingly focusing on painting, drawing places that are significant to me.
