Natalia Byrdina is a contemporary artist born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and currently living and working in Spain. Her practice sits at the intersection of textile, painting, and archival research, where she creates large scale textile works, installations, and mixed media projects that explore memory, the body, motherhood, and family history. Deeply rooted in personal experience, her work reflects on how stories are carried, inherited, and transformed across generations.

Hand knitting and crochet form the core of Byrdina’s artistic language, serving as acts of preservation and reconstruction. Textile becomes a vessel for fragmented memory, unraveling and reassembling into roots, branches, neural forms, and ghostlike silhouettes. Drawing from family archives, childhood photographs, and embodied knowledge, her work examines themes of loss, separation, care, and the invisible transmission between mothers and daughters. Her practice has been presented in exhibitions and residencies across Europe, with a solo exhibition in Belgrade in 2025.
