'I paint women because I consider us to be very emotionally strong - but my subjects represent all kinds of people.' Harper's Bazaar, 2023
Through a soft colour palette and the recurring presence of female figures in various spaces, Jenya Datsko invites the viewer to reflect on human nature and the complexity of emotions. The artist perceives these women as symbols of strength and determination in their pursuit of establishing genuine connections.
Born in Russia in 1991 and currently based in Valencia, Spain, Jenya Datsko studied Art and Illustration at Escuela Superior de Arte y Tecnología ESAT and GAIA Centro de Estudios de Arte. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with recent solo exhibitions in Madrid, New York, Shenzhen and London. Datsko’s practice has received critical attention in Harper’s Bazaar, where her paintings were featured on the cover of the September 2023 issue. In 2025, Datsko will have her first institutional solo show at Corridor Foundation, China.
