Was born in 1993 in the village of Kariv near Lviv, Ukraine. Lives and works in Kyiv and Lviv.

The central theme of Taras Haida’s art is immersion into his own subconscious. The artist depicts situations and ideas emerging from his inner world and, through intuitive thinking, transforms them into expressive artistic images. Taras’s artistic work primarily concerns how we perceive and comprehend the manifestations of our consciousness. Among his visual techniques, the most important are fragmentation of the whole, glitch, and deformation. These artistic tactics define the essence of his works: they are always in a state of suspension and disorder, evoking the atmosphere of vivid dreams or uncontrolled experiences.
His works depict individual scenes of human existence, captured in destabilized compositions. Glitch effects, like doubts, penetrate the fabric of the works, expanding and fragmenting the familiar appearance of people, animals, and objects. All experiences, impressions, and scenes from the artist’s life merge into geometric forms saturated with gradations of tones and fluid contours of people and plants. Primary media—oil painting, digital collage, video.
Key themes—the subconscious, transformation, memory, fragmentation, information distortions.
