Ania Krupiakov
Ania Krupiakov (b. 1983, Kyiv, Ukraine) is an Israeli photographer and multidisciplinary artist based in Tel Aviv. She immigrated to Israel in 1991 and graduated from Hamidrasha School of Art, Beit Berl, in 2008.
Drawing upon her childhood memories and experience of migration, Krupiakov explores belonging, femininity, cultural displacement, and the complex identity of the Soviet diaspora in Israel. Her photographs frequently move between documentary observation and carefully constructed fiction, using staged imagery, architecture, and symbolic objects to transform personal recollections into enigmatic visual narratives. Recent projects have expanded into video and installation, incorporating mythology, mysticism, and imagined spaces as ways of examining memory and inherited history.
Krupiakov participated in the Artists’ Greenhouse at Fresh Paint 3 and presented Almost Like a Devil in Tel Aviv in 2017. More recently, her work appeared in the two-person exhibition Gatherers of Hope at Minshar Gallery in 2024 and in Unrooted at Binyamin Gallery in 2025, an intergenerational exhibition addressing the experiences of Soviet immigrant women artists in Israel.
