Valeska Hykel is a painter and printmaker whose work is an ongoing dialogue between these two practices.

By painting directly onto the screen’s mesh, these expressive monotypes toy with the boundaries of painting within print. In them she ensures that the hand of the artist is visible and allows the scars of the process to add to their narrative.      

Valeska exhibited at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2022, ‘23 and ‘24 and ‘25 was Artist in Residence at Print Club London in 2023 with a Solo Exhibition at Print Club London in June 2024. In 2025 she was a winner of the Delphian Gallery open call.
