About Artist

"There are no absolutely adults, there are no absolutely children.

We all come from the world of a fairy tale, in which the most vivid dreams are dreamed,

where the air is saturated with dreams.

Most importantly, growing up, do not lose the child inside you,

becoming wiser, stay open-hearted,

loving and always ready to meet a fairy tale."

Katya Dudnik is the prominent Ukranian artist
She is like the Creator calls into existence her own world, which consists of fairytale dreams and faith for the good.
She makes us recall the children's games and dreams, see our environment in a different way — through the prism of the childish simplicity and naivete — and thus become better and more humane!

Katya was born in 1982 in Izmail (Ukraine). Her first teacher was her father, while mother was her inspiration. Apart from the outstanding natural talent, Kate has a profound professional background of the State School of Arts T.G.Shevchenko (1997-2000) and National Art Academy (2001-2007). Katya is the honorable Member of the Izmail Art Union and national Youth assembly of Artists of Ukraine.

In 2010 the name of Katya Dudnik was included to the “United Art Rating” (which includes the names of the artists of 18-21 centuries, who formed their part of the world’s heritage).
Katya Dudnik took part in various exhibitions which helped her become self confident,
brought her acclaim and incentives for new creative works.
