Sonia Leliukh

Born and having spent a significant part of their life in the picturesque city of Kyiv, Ukraine, they were compelled by the large-scale war in 2022 to relocate to Cologne, Germany. They studied at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM) as a media artist and 2D animator. Exploring various traditional techniques and combining different media, such as stop-motion, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, and digital 2D animation, fueled their passion for art. Their primary goal, above all, was to support Ukraine through their creativity, narrate their culture, and present a unique perspective from within.
