The IQOS Mosaic project began in 2024. Its core material is used, recycled tobacco sticks — the foundation of the series' mosaic portraits.

The first works were made only from my own used sticks. Over time, other people began joining the project.

Today it's no longer just a personal story.
Creation Process — 6 Stages

Collecting Material

Used sticks are collected and sorted.

I'm an artist from Ukraine, living and working in Valencia, Spain. For several years I worked as a tattoo artist.

Today I work with painting, graphics, and mixed media. I don't hold to a single material or technique, letting each piece find its own form.
