Helsinki-based artist Kolya Kotov creates intimate and thought-provoking narratives through their work. Their artistic practice is deeply autobiographical, exploring themes of queerness, and personal transformation. Working primarily with textiles, photography, and kinetic objects, they construct installations challenging conventional perceptions of reality and identity.
