Lidiia Holosko was TYPA’s artist in residence from March-April 2026. At the same time, she is developing her skills in working with glass under the guidance of Barbara Idzikowska in Wrocław.
Lidiia Holosko was born in Bila Tserkva (Kyiv region, Ukraine). She graduated from the Lviv National Academy of Arts (Printmaking), earning both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees with distinction. In 2024, she was a scholarship holder of the Gaude Polonia program of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland (Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław).
She has participated in group exhibitions in Ukraine and across Europe, including in Wrocław, Berlin, Osijek, Lviv, and Lutsk, and has held solo exhibitions, among them at the Zajezdnia History Centre in Wrocław and the Studio of the Municipal Gallery in Wrocław.
Her artistic practice focuses on memory — personal, bodily, generational, and social. She works with printmaking, particularly mezzotint, which she uses as a tool for reflection and expressing resistance. She develops the concept of transforming the matrix into an autonomous object and an installation form, combining copper and glass.
On April 10th we opened her exhibition “Between shadow and memory“ at Rõdugalerii. This exhibition presented a series of graphic works created in the mezzotint technique between 2023 and 2025. It brought together pieces that reflected an ongoing artistic exploration shaped by recent years, forming a kind of summation of the artist’s practice during this period.
