Mariya Vasilyeva

Mariya Vasilyeva (*1993, Kyiv) is a German-Israeli-Ukrainian video and performance artist based in Vienna, Austria. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and the University of Applied Arts Vienna, her practice centers on digital collage, video installation, and performance, using her own body as the primary material. Working between post-Soviet and Western European contexts, she explores how patriarchal structures, sexualized violence, and societal norms shape female identity.

Vasilyeva’s work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including Kunsthalle Wien, Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, Switzerland, The Artists' Residence Herzliya, Nunnery Gallery, London, Phileas Projects, Vienna, Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin, Fotogalerie Wien, Krinzinger Projekte, Vienna, and Kunstraum Klingental, Basel, among others.
