Leonila Varzhevska
Leonila Varzhevska is an emerging Fine Art photographer from Ukraine, currently based in Toronto.
In her work, Nila takes on many roles, from designing and decorating to styling, shooting, and editing, making sure every detail reflects her vision.
Since moving to Canada three years ago due to the war in Ukraine, Leonila has focused on building her photography career. She contributed event photography for the Nuit Blanche exhibit at Harbourfront Centre and recently became a member of Gallery 44.
Her work explores themes of home and belonging, queerness and self-expression, often blending her painting background and technical expertise with a signature use of dramatic lighting to emphasize the intimacy and vulnerability of the stories she tells.
