Dunya Zakharova (born 1987) is a young Russian artist who explores themes of nature and ecology, sublimating personal experiences and constructing her own mythology. She creates images of ephemeral beings on the border between reality and mysticism, using felt and cotton threads.
Dunya was born in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Since 2008, she has participated in exhibitions in museums and galleries in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Paris, Toulouse, Grenoble, and San Francisco. In 2016, she held her first solo exhibition, "Extinct Species," at Osnova Gallery in Moscow.
In her artistic practice, Zakharova employs various techniques, ranging from traditional ones such as acrylic and oil on canvas or paper to more original methods like intricate and meticulous embroidery or the creation of objects and "soft sculptures" from different fabrics, felt, nylon, and synthetic padding. In her recent works, embroidery has become the dominant technique, which has always been present in the artist's practice but has now evolved into a continuation of her graphic compositions. For Zakharova, threads have become a full-fledged replacement for paints.
All of the artist's works are meticulously crafted images that appear to resemble fantastical creatures from fairy tales or dreams while being part of her personal worldview. By sublimating her experiences, Dunya constructs a narrative that draws from her Yakut roots, themes of nature and time, psychological disorders, various disparities, and anomalies.
