About Asya
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Asya Dudko is a figurative sculptor and visual artist whose work merges sculpture, painting, and relief. Born in Russia, she grew up surrounded by the folklore, craftsmanship, and emotional richness of her culture: a source of vivid imagery in subject, colour, and form that continues to inspire her work. This heritage, combined with years of experience, forms the foundation of her distinctive visual style, known for its texture, symbolism, and poetic narrative.
She explores universal themes such as memory, emotion, resilience, and human connection. Her pieces often depict stylised characters imbued with mystery and symbolism, evoking both strength and fragility. Each figure carries its own story, inviting reflection rather than explanation.
Asya has developed a unique sculpting technique using Creative Paperclay, allowing her to build expressive, textured surfaces over wire armatures. Each piece is finished with acrylic and oil and often incorporates a vintage item that helps to reveal the underlying idea.
After moving to the United Kingdom in the early 2000s, Asya embraced new creative opportunities while maintaining a strong connection to her origins. She holds a First-Class Honours Degree in Interior Design, and alongside her studio practice, she is a dedicated tutor, teaching both novice and experienced students.
Asya is an Associate Member of the Society of Women Artists (ASWA). Her achievements include the Helen Sinclair Sculpture Award (2022) and the John Doubleday Award (2025).
A note from Asya:
''Life is full of mystery, and it is this sense of the unknown that fascinates me and inspires my art.
Each piece I create carries a certain concept and a hidden story. While the narrative part is essential, the visual form becomes the key to unveiling the idea. I pay attention to every detail, be it shape, colour, antique or vintage items which I sometimes incorporate into my pieces. I use air drying ‘Paperclay’ which is sculpted over support wire structure and finished with oil, acrylic, watercolour, and pastels. Relief panels are completed on a canvas board and shaped with ‘Paperclay’.
All my pieces are original and are one of a kind.
