About

Tayisiya is a conceptual and figurative artist based in London. Born and raised in Ukraine, her work is rooted in the cultural divide, religious repression, the trauma of war and displacement. She holds a BA (Hons) in Art & Design and an MA (Hons) in Fashion Enterprise & Society from the University of Leeds.

Working on reframing emotional fragility into one's strength, Tayisiya creates collections depicting religious scenarios, juxtaposing them with the inappropriate image of nudity, as well as using portraiture and human figure to emphasise the strength of emotional intelligence and authenticity.

Throughout her career, Tayisiya has established herself in the erotic art community. Her most recent achievement is an Erotic Art London Prize 2025 title with two shows at Copeland Gallery curated by the EAL.

She has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, including the Southwark Annual Open Exhibition (2024, 2025), Firepit Art Gallery, J/M Gallery, 54 The Gallery (Mayfair), RAW by What Does Not, including her solo exhibition REINFORCE (2022) at Laboratory Studio.
