Selena Sashina (Elena Podust) is a Ukrainian contemporary artist whose works are held in private collections in the USA, France, Belgium, Japan, and Ukraine. She began drawing in early childhood and received an academic education in the field of art culture. Since 2011, artistic practice has become her primary profession and the central focus of her creative life.

Female presence appears not as an object of desire, but as a bearer of memory, transformation, and sacred tension. Mythological beings, archetypal symbols, and ethnically inspired forms emerge around this figure as expressions of subconscious and collective memory rather than narrative illustration.

Selena Sashina’s artistic practice invites the viewer not only to observe, but to enter a space of quiet concentration, where myth, body, and imagination merge into a contemplative experienc
