Dana Huban is a Ukrainian artist born in the Poltava region. She received her formal art education in Uzhhorod and Kyiv, completing her studies in 2011. Her early years in a rural environment shaped her sensitivity to natural landscapes, textures and organic structures, which later became essential elements of her artistic practice.

Alongside her work in art, Dana has a distinguished athletic background. She is a Deaflympic badminton athlete, who competed professionally at international events and earned multiple medals, including a Deaflympic bronze. This experience has informed her ability to focus, endure and navigate intense physical and internal movement — qualities that subtly resonate within her artistic process.

After the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Dana relocated to Germany and now works in the rural area near Königswinter. The local landscape, with its shifting light and spatial depth, continues to influence her visual language and artistic inquiry.

Dana positions herself as an experimental artist, working at the intersection of techniques and visual approaches. Her Sky series, and Terrae works are characterised by the use of natural materials, layering, and soil- or corrosion-like structures. These pieces explore the relationship between process, time and matter, offering the viewer a physical, almost tactile presence.

Alongside her material-driven work, the artist also creates animal portraits and landscapes focused on space and light. These series combine perceptual precision with minimalist compositional choices, highlighting both the individuality of the subject and the atmosphere of the environment.

Dana’s multifaceted practice spans from textural abstraction to figurative painting and reflects her ongoing interest in materiality, nature as source and structure, and the reinterpretation of personal landscapes within a new cultural context.
