Ekaterina Makarova (Makarёk) is a Ukrainian artist who creates her paintings using the string art technique. Born and raised in the Ukrainian province, she currently lives in the city of Dnipro. Katya was always an energetic girl, constantly seeking opportunities to realize her creative potential. From vocal art- voicing cartoons - to creating fruit bouquets she found her main passion by chance, the main passion in her life became a picture of nails and threads. She does not have a specific genre orientation; she simply pours her emotions out onto the wood. The hammer is her brush, and the tongs are her palette knife. It's in this monotonous, calming process of pulling the threads that she realizes her destiny - to give beauty to people all around the world.

You can find these pieces of her soul not only throughout Ukraine, but also in Poland, Germany, Russia, Azerbaijan and UAE.
