AKIKORESKY

ABOUT

Akiko Koresky is an emerging contemporary artist based in Toronto, working primarily in acrylic and oils, alongside charcoal. She is a recent graduate of Visual and Digital Arts (VADA) at Humber Polytechnic. Her painting Brainwave Frequencies is currently featured in the Humber VADA clubs’ Impulse exhibition, while her painting Interference Pattern was most recently featured in the VADA group exhibit Lingua Franca in April of 2026. Following her graduation, she is currently exploring and expanding on her abstract Microbials series.

My work is based on pattern, repetition, and movement, inspired by microscopic and cellular forms and the way they grow, connect, and interact. I explore structures that feel organic yet controlled. I’m especially interested in visual rhythms that resemble signals, waves, interference patterns, and biological systems, creating compositions that feel active and constantly shifting, like signals and living organisms.

Using acrylic paint, I build layered repeating forms and concentric circles that act like maps of unseen forces rooted in ever-changing connection and experience. While my work is based in abstraction, it also reflects ideas of influence, perception, and identity on how internal experiences are shaped by external systems. As I continue developing my practice, I’m expanding on these abstract cell-inspired forms through experimentation with texture, colour, movement, and scale.
