Read MoreStepan Ryabchenko is a leading representative of contemporary Ukrainian art and a prominent figure in digital and media art. His practice spans digital art, conceptual architecture, sculpture, light installation, photography, and graphic art, constructing a cohesive visual mythology of virtual worlds, imaginary beings, new forms of life, and metaphysical landscapes. Working with technology not only as a medium, but as a space for myth-making and creation, Ryabchenko explores the evolving relationship between nature and technology, the real and the virtual, myth and contemporary visual culture.
Stepan Ryabchenko’s works have been presented internationally at major museums, biennials, and contemporary art institutions, including MAXXI in Rome, Albertina Modern in Vienna, Saatchi Gallery in London, Ludwig Museum in Budapest, the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, Ars Electronica in Linz, and Arsenale Nord in Venice. He has represented Ukraine at the Changwon Sculpture Biennale, Expo 2020 Dubai, and the 10th Beijing International Art Biennale. His distinctions include the Kyiv Sculpture Project Award, a PinchukArtCentre Prize nomination, inclusion in Forbes Ukraine’s “30 Under 30,” and recognition by Electric Artefacts among the world’s leading digital artists. In 2025, he became a corresponding member of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine.
