Quick Facts:

Danylo Kovach's work focuses on graphics, painting, installation and performance. His practice is dynamically developing and changing. In traditional media, he tests the limits and possibilities of the material, sometimes undermining their semiotic meaning in order to reveal the unexpected materiality and nuances of his own artistic idea. According to other approaches, he deliberately embeds his idea into the material and thus forms an added semantic component.

His creative process is based on the juxtaposition of visual (material) and historical space. He journeys through the metaphorical and practical experience of objectivity, seeking to illuminate deep connections and contrasts. Each work is a testament to this desire, revealing a holistic approach that combines theoretical concepts with practical application.

His work is a powerful journey of experimentation, where the search for new and intriguing visual forms never stops. This urge leads him to conceptualise works of art that embody narrative symbolism, addressing human rights violations, instability, separation, and catharsis.

One of the important elements of his artistic toolkit is the use of ordinary rubber mats, which he transforms into paintings and installations. With the help of these objects, he opens up new perspectives of content and their meaning. These formative elements constitute a semiotic language of images, breaking down narratives that resonate universally, inviting viewers to participate. It is an engagement in collaboration, communication and the exchange of diverse experiences.
