Leka Dereviankina is a multidisciplinary artist working across drawing, sculpture, and installation. Her work is shaped by interests in physics, biology, and the human experience of time. She explores human presence and behavior; through quiet observation in everyday public spaces, she seeks to understand and capture what it means to be human in contemporary society—how we occupy space, relate to one another, and navigate moments of solitude, distraction, and connection in an increasingly fast-paced and technologized world. Her projects often involve collaborations with researchers and international communities. She combines scientific research with poetic reflection. 

Leka Dereviankina (b. 1989) trained in architecture MArch Architecture, National Aviation University, Kyiv, Ukraine, and traditional Japanese arts advanced course in Ikebana, awarded the traditional title of Kaiden, Ikenobo School, Kyoto, Japan.
