Early life

Chychkan has a daughter, Sasha. She is a co-author of Psychodarwinism.[7] In a dialogue with Marat Gelman with Kostyantyn Doroshenko they discussed the exhibition New Psychodarwinism. The artist took it as a basis for famous paintings of the Tretyakov Gallery depicting the main characters as monkeys. Analyzing the artist's blasphemous gesture Doroshenko remarked: "Imperial totalitarian society puts art on a pedestal as something that rises above life and directs it… « Psychodarwinism» - a proposal to abandon elitism and hierarchies.».[8] Chychkan's children, David and Oleksandra, are Ukrainian artists.[5]
