Kseniia Antipina (born 1992) grew up in a small, remote town and had no exposure to art during her childhood since there were no galleries or museums in her town. Upon moving to a big city to attend university, she was introduced to creative professions and felt a strong desire to create things with her own hands. After studying at the Russian-Italian Art School in Kazan, she went on to study graphic design at a university in Moscow. In 2017, she moved to Berlin and developed a passion for photography, initially as a hobby and then as her primary occupation. Since 2021 she participates in numerous international exhibitions. In 2023, Kseniia won first place in the Julia Margaret Cameron Award. In 2024, she received the Gold Award in the Contemporary category at the World Masters of Photography competition in Vienna. Kseniia lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
