Born in 1987 in Kyiv, Fedora Akimova is a mixed-media artist whose practice engages memory, care, and transformation through materials traditionally associated with the domestic and the everyday. Since March 2022, she has been living and working between Tbilisi and Paris.
She studied graphic arts in Kyiv before continuing her education in scenography and scene design at the Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. Akimova is currently completing the DNSEP through La VAE at l’École Supérieure d’Art et de Design Le Havre–Rouen in France.
Her sensitivity to material forms lies at the core of her practice. Working with textiles, embroidery, found objects, waste, and organic matter, Akimova approaches materials as living archives—surfaces that hold traces of use, care, decay, and time. Techniques historically associated with the domestic sphere become in her work a critical visual language grounded in process and transformation.
Through installations, video, and object-based works, she explores multiplicity, rhythm, and coexistence, drawing on philosophical frameworks that resist fixed or binary structures. Her practice favors openness and layered meaning, allowing difference and opacity to remain present within the work.
Akimova has presented her work through exhibitions and projects internationally, including museum spaces, galleries, and art fairs across Europe and the Caucasus, and continues to develop an evolving practice shaped by material inquiry and conceptual rigor.
