Sofya Belinskaya

Sofya Belinskaya is a Ukrainian-American visual artist. Her paintings and drawings are narratively driven works on paper that seek the line between presence and absence. Born in Donetsk, Ukraine, her practice explores the fragmented nature of memory and our relationships to place.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and regionally, including solo shows at Gallery 4Culture, Seattle, Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, and SOIL Artist-Run Gallery, Seattle where she has been a member since 2023. She is the recipient of the 2022 4Culture Projects Grant for Artists, and she was a 2024 Neddy Artist Award Painting finalist.
