Rymma Vinogradova
Artist from Switzerland
Rymma Vinogradova is a Ukrainian contemporary artist working in the
style of figurative art, based in Basel, Switzerland. She was born in 1998 in
Ukraine, where she spent 21 years of her life.
In 2013 graduated from the Art School named after Raisa Kyrychenko in
her hometown Poltava. Since her youth, Rymma has been discovering
Ukrainian culture in its various manifestations. This gave her a sense of
taste and aesthetics as she feels and sees it now.
Her main question is: is there a place for ethnicity in our "virtual" reality? In
Rymma's reality there is. She delves even deeper into the study of
ancestral traditions, folk art, peculiarities of history and passes it to others.
Because these things are very fragile. "If we don't recreate it in our
memory now, who will pass it on to future generations?" − is the question
that prompts Rymma to tell incessantly about the importance of saving
and rethinking of cultural heritage through her artwork.
Art for her is a path and the way to be heard.

The return
Painting by Rymma Vinogradova
90 x 110 cm • Acrylic
Where does the heritage of past generations go and what is hidden
behind the human tireless pursuit of "progress" and development? What
do tons of water created by a careless human hand hide, contrary to all
natural laws? - entire historical epochs, human lives deprived of homes,
deprived of shelter and forcibly torn away from their origins?
The series is about the historical memory that emerges from the water
column, despite all those who deny it.
Great Meadow (Velykyi Luh), the cradle of the Zaporizhzhia Cossacks, is
a place that has been hiding Ukrainian historical heritage and memory
for decades. The Kakhovka Dam was built in 1956 and destroyed by the
Russian occupiers in June 2023. After the water was released, many
historical artifacts were found.
Created during an artistic residency in Lugano.
