Zoya Cherkassky-Nnadi (formerly Zoya Cherkassky) is an Israeli artist, born in Kyiv in 1976, who migrated to Israel in 1991. Her works focus on her personal experiences, including childhood in the Soviet Union and migration to Israel. Cherkassky-Nnadi also helped found the New Barbizon Group with four other painters, all born in the former USSR.
In 2015, Cherkassky-Nnadi created a collection of art pieces depicting everyday scenes she observed throughout her childhood in the Soviet Ukraine. The works display particularities of her own childhood, such as her nightly routine of watching out the window for her mother to return home from work, as well as more general norms of Soviet life at that time, such as the cramped apartments that many people lived in, and the food that was commonly enjoyed during May Day festivities. It is childhood so even if it’s something unpleasant you remember it with some sort of nostalgia, she said, in one of her first ever English-language interviews.
Cherkassky-Nnadi was the granddaughter of a food store manager, so she had access to a wider variety of foods than many of her peers. This can be seen in some of her works revolving around food, such as May Day and Tomatoes. Cherkassky-Nnadi worked on this collection while she was pregnant with her first child, and the artist feels this contributed to the warmth of the pieces.
