We continue our series ‘Conversations with Artists’ — a chance to get to know the artists whose work inspires us, hear their stories and discover the ideas behind their practice.

Today, we’re talking to Katya Shkolnik @katya.shkolnik, a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the intersections of time, memory, and human experience.

In the carousel, you'll see the photographic series Chiwong Monastery, which tells the story of a place where past and future seem to stand still in the present. Preserving centuries of wisdom while quietly absorbing the new, the monastery feels timeless — these photographs could have been taken a hundred years ago or a hundred years from now.

At the heart of the series are the young monks: lively and playful like any other children, yet sometimes their gaze suddenly reveals an unexpected stillness and depth. Through these moments, the series reflects on time, inner peace, and the feeling of encountering something much larger than ourselves.
