Daria Koltsova (b. 1987, Kharkiv, Ukraine) is a contemporary artist whose practice spans installation, performance, stained glass, and socially engaged art. Her work engages with memory, trauma, war, and the vulnerability of individuals in the face of historical violence. Since the early 2010s, Koltsova has emerged as a significant voice in Ukrainian conceptual art, particularly in response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Her artistic language, rooted in conceptualism, explores collective memory and social trauma while often incorporating fragile and symbolic materials such as glass, fabric, and earth. Koltsova creates spaces of reflection, mourning, and care, inviting viewers into intimate encounters with loss, resilience, and displacement.
Her work has been presented internationally at the Suprainfinit Gallery (Bucharest), the Ludwig Museum (Cologne), the Albertina Museum (Vienna), and Mystetskyi Arsenal (Kyiv), among others.
