Valeriia Mitko

Valeriia Mitko was studying architecture in Kyiv when she realized she was more interested in the emotional geometry of spaces than their structural reality. She left the program. She kept the compass.

Her work explores the tension between order and entropy — intricate patterns that, if you look long enough, begin to break apart in beautiful ways. She works in layers: pencil first, always pencil. Then ink. Then she photographs the result before digital refinement removes the last evidence of the human hand.

She moved to Berlin in 2021 and has since collaborated with fashion and music artists across Europe.
