Meet Liza Basay
“Ukrainian artist (b. 1984), currently based in the UAE, Liza Basay works across painting, large-scale
murals, and sculpture.
With a background in fine arts and arts education, she has developed a distinctive multidisciplinary
practice that blends studio work, public art, and community engagement.
Her practice also extends into cultural activism. In Kyiv and Dnipro, she led collaborations between
state administrations and local businesses on art and cultural initiatives, and founded an art school
based on her own educational methodology.
Since relocating to the UAE, she has continued to expand her work through private and public
commissions (including the IHG Group) and socially engaged art projects — including international
collaborations in her role as an art consultant (Kleindienst Group).”

Artist statement
Visual art engages directly with the subconscious and does not need lots of words.
I am here to paint the dream someone needed to see, feel, experience, and forget.
I am here to dance with my viewer in silence and haze, offering only the visual and letting them shape the rest.
As a socially engaged artist, I work with recreational public spaces such as parks and walkways, transforming them into inspiring and meaningful environments.
For me, the most rewarding moment is seeing how an empty space becomes a place where people gather, take memorable photographs, and simply choose to spend time surrounded by art.
