    Kate Hrynko

When you face death in your family, albums full of ancient photographs can tell us a story. Unfortunately, so many documents and pictures are lost, or old-time portraits can even never exist. Today, in the era of digital technologies we have a chance to start creating our genealogy, explore our identity, and history, and as a result, save it digitally for the next generations. In my photographs, I talk to the viewers via colours and dig into their memories and experience through colourful art abstractions.

Kate was born in 1989 in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2012 graduated from Université d'Auvergne Clermont-Ferrand I, in France, with master's degree in Management. In 2021 obtained a Ph.D. in international economic relations at Kyiv National University of Trade and Economy. Photography has been her hobby since 2010 when she bought her first digital reflex camera. During 2021-2022 she studied at the Kyiv School of Photography. Since 2022 photography has been her main occupation.
