BYPOLA ART

My name is Pola, short for Polina. My place of birth is Tajikistan, which is why I have predominantly Cossack (Russian and Ukrainian) and also German roots... I am an artist, glass painter, art therapist, art educator and half punk. Currently, I work and live in Hamburg. My artistic work ranges from paintings on different surfaces (especially glass but also Yupo paper) to different printing methods (especially lino print and screenprinting) on diverse surfaces (again especially glass but also paper and fabric)... I am especially interested in topics like mental illness, (dis)ability studies, art sociology (especially by Bourdieu), politics and art, and art and education. I did my Bachelor's degree in Gender and Diversity and my Master's in Expressive Arts Therapy. Furthermore, I like to look at the social dimensions of the artistic field and the intersections of art and diversity, particularly related to mental health issues.
