Fedora Akimova is a mixed-media artist specializing in installations, video and objects. She was born in 1987 in Kyiv, where, after receiving her first degree in Printing and graphics, she began her creative career as an illustrator. In 2010 she moved to Russia – first to Kaliningrad, then to St. Petersburg, where she studied decoration and staging. This diploma in Theater Decoration and Stage design has impacted and developed her as a future artist, as she picked up many techniques and crafts into her art.

From 2017 to March 2022 Fedora resided and practiced in Moscow, and had multiple exhibitions in private galleries and large institutions including: Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (2021), MMOMA Moscow (2021), Cosmoscow Contemporary Art Fair (2018, 2021) and others. Fedora's solo exhibitions were held at the Artis (2018), Lazy Mike (2021), etc.

Her works are part of collections around the world: US, UK, Australia, Italy, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, France, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine.

Since March, 2022, Fedora lives and works in Tbilisi, Georgia and France.
