She is the individual behind the "Artbookmania" initiative and serves as the curator of the 'Meta-senses' gallery.

 

    Born in Kyiv in 1986, the renowned artist has already secured multiple prestigious awards and honors. She is the recipient of the esteemed 'The Meta Morph Award 2024' Global South Winner and the '2nd International Watercolour Biennale', IWS South Korea 2023 (Bronze Award), to name a few.

 

      The artist used to investigate the complex fabric of 'migration', examining new viewpoints within a dynamic mosaic of cultures and ethnicity in a global society. Throughout her dynamic artistic journey, the fluidity of perception, the rejection of a fixed reality, and the core of migration arise as critical tools for revitalizing the 'mental map'. This process not only enhances clarity but also continuously reshapes the inherent mechanisms of how we perceive the world. Nomadism operates on the delicate boundary between enlightenment and alienation, sparking new insights as it traverses the fabric of existence. When interwoven into the fabric of art, it the fabric of art, it evokes a realm where the extraordinary flourishes, permitting the essence of life to take shape. In the wake of the Ukrainian conflict, her artistic practice began to incorporate reflections on these harrowing events. Delnara is an artist grounded in research, examining historical and political events through the prism of the natural environment.

 

       The artist is living and working in a seaside picturesque Mediterranean resort town named Kas in Turkey.
