Daria Heimur (born in 2003 in Dnipro, Ukraine) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Zurich, Switzerland. Working across painting, performance, and installation, she employs oil, acrylic, and mixed media on canvas. Heimur is best known for her post-ritual compositions that explore transformation, spiritual disintegration, and the alchemical process of renewal through the human body. Her practice focuses on the psychological and symbolic traces that remain when structure dissolves. Through the interplay of material decay and spiritual resonance, she investigates how emotion and memory persist beyond formal systems. 

My work belongs to the post-ritual.
Ritual, in its esoteric sense, is a path — a container for intention, repetition, and meaning. My interest begins where this path collapses: when meaning disappears, yet the body continues to act, remember, and endure. I describe my practice as post-ritual — a temporal and emotional space where the sacred has evaporated, but its imprint remains in muscle memory.

I observe what is left behind.
I work with fragments of belief, identity, and form.
I return to the same question: What do we do when the structure no longer holds, but we are still here?
