Yana Toyber is a Ukraine-born NY-raised and based visual artist. She studied at the School of Visual Arts and graduated with a bachelor's degree. Her work is strongly influenced by artists and filmmakers such as David Lynch, Andrei Tarkovsky, Diane Arbus, and Araki. You can see these influences in several of her noteworthy projects such as “THIS TIME” A book published by Damiani, Bondage Ballerinas which is featured in Juxtapoz magazine, and SACRED which was published in i-D magazine. Her aesthetic is dreamy at times and cuts through reality like a knife at others. She works in film, polaroid, and video mediums mostly and occasionally dabbles in watercolor and acrylic paint.

"A lot of Yana's work celebrates the grace and grit of beautiful women and their fearless ways”. She was a leader in the fourth-wave feminist art movement with her notorious project 4 Sale where she orchestrated a collective of female photographers who used each other as muses to create their bodies of work.
