ABOUT ME
My name is Danika, I was born in in the capital of Ukraine – Kyiv. I have been interested in embroidery since childhood.
In 2022, the war began, Kyiv was the epicenter of shelling, being in shelter for days, I needed to find something that could distract me from these terrible events. Taking fabric, paints and beads from the shelters, I began to create paintings. In these difficult times for Ukraine, it is not easy to develop art, but it is necessary for our country, since art is an important element for the state and I am glad that I can be involved in the creation of an element of art such as embroidering paintings from beads on topics that will unite us as a nation.
These are Ukrainian cities, Ukrainian freedom, resilience, unity, culture, religion, etc. What will remain in history for the future generation, and this can be conveyed on the canvas of my paintings. By creating paintings, I am sure that there will be a bright future for our country and it is very close.
For each painting, the team creates a video presentation with dance elements, since this image can convey the full range of emotions and exclusivity of the paintings. Choreographer Svyatoslav Sherstyuk develops each production, taking into account the elements of embroidery and what exactly is depicted in the picture.
In 2022, the paintings were included in the Ukrainian Book of Records, as well as in applications for a Guinness Record.
The uniqueness of the paintings lies in the fact that I use different embroidery techniques.
From generation to generation!
7th generation of embroidery. This gift was passed down from generation to generation. My grandmother, Tamara Moskovchenko, has been embroidering since she was a child, her mother taught her this. And fate repeated itself, during the Second World War, my great-grandmother took the threads she found in a bomb shelter and embroidered on her clothes, trying to pull herself away. My grandmother was a professional needlepoint and cross stitch embroiderer. In her life, she held a large number of exhibitions. When I was 5 years old, my grandmother gave me a needle and threads, so I began to learn various embroidery techniques.
