AGLAYA
NOGINA
I work with memory, displacement, and the shape of friendship across distance.
Ukrainian visual artist working in xerography, painting, ceramic, and writing. Lives in Düsseldorf.
Aglaya was born in Luhansk in 1996 and lived in Kharkiv and Kyiv. After the full-scale war began, she moved to Düsseldorf, where she currently lives and studies at the Kunstakademie. She works with graphic media — relief printing, xerography, engraving — alongside painting, photography, ceramics, textiles, and text. In her work, she explores self-identification, memory, emigration, and relationships during the war.
