About me

Picture


Oneslutriot is a queer anonymous painter and drafts person currently based in New York City. Her work has been exhibited extensively across Europe, with showcases in the UK, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and most recently in New York. Rooted in the Feminist Punk/DIY/Underground scenes, she actively participates in a number of artistic collectives in Europe and UK fighting for a better world. She is currently pursuing  MFA degree at the New York Academy of Arts and set to graduate in 2025. 

Oneslutriot’s  art explores a myriad of societal issues, addressing political and social concerns. Themes such as body image, body politics, repression, LGBTQ rights are central to her artistic practice.

Throughout her career, she has organized & curated international  arts festivals and events aimed at shedding light on injustices in daily life, advocating for change and sparking meaningful conversations. Her artistic journey is driven by a desire to challenge norms, provoke thought, and inspire action through creative expression and abolish the society of self doubt that she has been a victim of herself.

Creative Warrior Guide
​
Support your local shop lifter – Tesco isn't going bankrupt from a liberated item.

Don’t snitch. Human CCTV culture is as cost effective as violence against each other.

Show no respect to authority. Know your shit better than they do.
Create from nothing but not about nothing.

Find a friend to support – we all are fucking anxious as we live in the system fueled by mental health. 
 

Be inspired by, but not competing. Your gods also had their gods that they thought they will never be as good as.

 Art is not about satisfaction and joy, it is about all the unspoken.
 Let yourself out through your media and portray the feelings that hide. They are your real artistic fuel.

 Appreciate that which separates us from one another - creativity. Art is being taken out from education because creativity is individual and individuals cannot be controlled.

 Your financial and housing problems will always be with you if you want to be free.
​
 Dedicate time for doing what fulfils you and reminds you who you are, everything else is just temporary logistics. It is irrelevant.

 Embrace chaos because chaos is order.
 
Support one another. Don’t keep compliments to yourself. Government ain't gonna help us. A rising tide lifts all the ships.
 
Collaborate and take initiative. More voices are louder.
 
Art is to show the world your way.
 
Real art should make people nervous.
                                                                                                        
And for the end , this is what you want this is what you get.
