About the artist

Tetiana Koldunenko is a versatile artist, residing in Chatswood. She was born in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine and relocated to Australia in 2010.

As a painter she utilises many of the traditional techniques and materials, including oil, acrylic, watercolours etc., as a graphic designer and illustrator she predominantly uses digital tools.

Her artistic journey is marked by an international education that spans continents. Having studied at the State Art School and earned her degree from the Ukrainian Academy of Art and Architecture in Kyiv, Ukraine. Expanding her horizons, she pursued a Master of Design at the Florence Design Academy in Italy. Continuing her pursuit of knowledge and excellence, she further honed her skills by completing a Master of Design (Honours) at UNSW in Sydney, Australia. This diverse educational background reflects not only her dedication to the craft but also her exposure to varied artistic traditions and perspectives.

As a relative newcomer to Australia, Tetiana is deeply moved by the stark beauty of the country. The contrasts of urban and rural landscapes, along with the unique elements of Australian nature inspire her artistic vision. Driven by a profound appreciation for the beauty surrounding her, she feels compelled to emphasise this distinctiveness in her work. Her focus is to draw attention to beauty around us.
