Oleksandra Chichkan was born in Kyiv in 1988 to a family of famous artists. “One day Sasha came to me and said: “Trees are dying, turning into gloss. Let’s give them a new life,” explains Ilya, “And she started cutting monkeys out of Madonnas and Scarlett Johansson and making collages. It’s a pity that nature is turning into waste paper. But thanks to Sasha, it turns into art!” says her father, Ilya Chichkan, about her work (interview “Parents and Children: Ilya and Sasha Chichkan on glossy magazines, talent and a joint exhibition” for Vogue.ua, 16.12.17).
