Ellaya

Ellaya Yefymova is Lisbon based Ukrainian artist with a medical diploma and an unlimited love for science, art and the human body.

Ellaya started her artist career in 2020 triggered by global lockdown and her maternity leave, that gave her deep understanding of her mission and inspired her to make a dream to be an artist come true. As Ellaya has medical background, in art she is focused on such themes as health (physical and mental), conscious living and death. In 2020 she was a nominee for Portal Art prize (Kyiv, Ukraine), in 2021 - for Art Gemini prize (London, UK). In 2022 she moved to Lisbon due to the war and started to participate in charity exhibitions to help her native country, Ukraine. In 2023 she participated London Art Biennale.
