Beteeva’s practice is rooted in printmaking and explores belonging and its complications: what it means to carry a history that does not travel intact, and how print processes can hold what language flattens. She works from a personal archive of pictures that feel like memories, even when she is uncertain they are hers. Through monotype, lithography and intaglio, she translates the photograph into something twice removed, treating this distance not as a problem to resolve but as the condition that makes excavation possible. The pressure of the press and the residue it leaves behind become part of the image’s meaning. Rather than reconstructing a coherent past, she works with its instability, acknowledging its gaps, distortions and uncertainties. Her figures exist somewhere between the familiar and the uncanny, carrying a sense of tenderness even when the subject is loss. She graduated with a BA in Painting and Printmaking from the Glasgow School of Art in 2022 and an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2026. Her awards include the Euan Stewart Memorial Prize for Printmaking, New Contemporaries 2023 and RSA New Contemporaries 2024. She has undertaken residencies at Hospitalfield and the Royal Drawing School.
