Biography
VOLNA formed in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2016 and dedicates itself to light art and interdisciplinary art practices using new technologies. Waves as phenomena, including the wave nature of light, function as a key theme for the artists – in fact our very name, VOLNA”, means for “wave” in Russian. VOLNA consists of 6 creative individuals: Nikita Golyshev, Snezhana Vinogradova, Yana Cheklina, Dmitrii Gavkaliuk, Ekaterina Morzobitova, and Aleksei Beliakov who all come from different backgrounds in the fields of architecture, construction, design, engineering, art and cultural management. VOLNA prioritizes clean forms and clear images in artistic practice, as well incorporating the real-world specifics of a site into the very production cycle.
