Sasha Q

Artist member since 2023
Toronto, ON

Hello!

My name is Sasha Q (real name Oleksandra Stepanenko) and I'm an artist born in Kyiv, Ukraine.

I was forced to flee my home because of the russian invasion in February of 2022 and currently live and work in Toronto, Canada.

As a person living at the intersection of the analog era and times of deepening digitalization, my works are imbued with a surrealistic nostalgic vibe.

In my meditative plots, I'm exploring the subject of solitude and the boundaries of transcendental - knowledge that goes beyond sensory experience, beyond the bounds of space and time.
