Nesheva's transition from being an unknown painter to becoming a prosperous artist took place in a short space of time. In 2008, she moved to
Kyiv and started working on her first big art piece. In June 2010, Nesheva participated in Kyiv Art Week, an international art week of
contemporary art fair, where she was noticed by various critics and curators. Her breakthrough as an artist, Nesheva made in 2010, when her painting "Blue Blood" took the first place and traveled to
Berlin Art Week. In particular Leonora Yanko, a Ukrainian
gallerist, was impressed by her work and invited Nesheva to have her first solo exhibition, that opened in May 2011 at Hudgraf
Art Gallery,
Kyiv. In 2011, Nesheva presented her work in
Petersburg Art Week, Russia. In June 2011, she made a
Studio space in her
Kyiv apartment, where she commenced a series of paintings for her upcoming personal exhibition. The first retrospective to be held of her work was the "NoConcept" exhibition at Mystetskyi Prostir 365 Gallery, Kyiv, in 2011. On 7 December 2011, two paintings "Chichkan's Skull" and "Eyes" from "NoConcept" collection were sold on the auction for the private collections of Vasily Bondarchuk and
Alena Vinnitskaya where Vladimir Dantes was the auctionist. Traditionally, the interpretation of Nesheva's works at the visual level comes from the subdued emotional tone of what they represent compared to what is actually depicted. For example, as stated by Art Ukraine, "In
Contemporary art, which is so closely relying on text and ideas, the lack of concept is perceived as concept. That is why the title of Nesheva's project, "NoConcept", may seem as just another
non-conformist game, "
rebellious art". But at this show, unlike with most Contemporary art, you won't find anything that speaks of protest, or urges one to do something. Most of the works, presented at the show, are portraits. That is – representations of people's faces, something that in art-history is usually (and sometimes mistakenly) named "
portrait". But these are not portraits of real people and not even collective images. Done in
photorealist way but still not completely following the conventions of the technique, her characters do not lack realness. These ‘molds’ of reality seem very much like hand of prehistorical men in caves – they exist no matter who and why there were made." |alt= In 2012, Nesheva took part in Festival of
Contemporary arts "Art Olimp", Kyiv, and in the "First Odesa International Festival of the Arts",
Odesa. On 14 March 2012, Nesheva's painting "Blue Dog" was presented as a lot at the charity fundraising event "Share the warmth of the soul with a four-legged friend" to raise money for the
charitable foundation "Sirius", the
animal shelter. On 22 November 2012, Nesheva had her second exhibition "DRAMA" at Mystetskyi Prostir 365 Gallery,
Kyiv. Nesheva said about her work: "Souls lost in love, in prostration. Weightlessness. Passion. Grace. With / without faces, without masks, without borders ... “DRAMA” is a series of paintings depicting semi-naked female bodies. But this is by no means blatant vulgarity and not even
eroticism – it's just a woman. Alive woman, packed in silence. Each of these bodies cary an emotion that seeks attention and comfort, which is not able to break free. These paintings are silent, but silent loudly." In December 2012, Nesheva's paintings "Woman" and "No Thoughts" were published in the
City magazine. In 2013, Nesheva participated in Modern
Art Festival, Kyiv. In 2013, Nesheva had "Retrospective" exhibition at Mainstream Girls Gallery, Kyiv. This exhibition lionized the artist, brought into full public view the scope of her old and unseen artistry, and became a turning point, which marked the beginning of a new period of the author's work. On 29 November 2013, Nesheva was one of the painters presented in the "Hype" exhibition at Kosoy Kaponir Fortress, Kyiv.,
Miami|alt=In April 2014, Greter Art Centre, Kyiv, organized the exhibition "Phoenix. Rebirth". Nesheva was one of the four artists presented: Maria Krivopishina, Petra Rubar, a world-renowned sculptor Dmitry Yves, whose works are in the private collection of
Patricia Cass and
Monica Bellucci. This exhibition is relevant for socio-cultural development and society in general, as it brings up the subject of contrast of the external and internal state of the soul, entering a new level of perception. While "Phoenix. Rebirth" exhibition bears the theme of rebirth, restoration, artists' work illustrates the ambiguous idea of death for the sake of life. The essence of the exhibition is to show the transition from the past to the present and such an ephemeral future. In June 2014, Greter Art Centre hosted another extensive exhibit "
Illusion...Reality?" Nesheva was among two other represented artists: Liliya Isyk and Petra Rybar. Nesheva designates her series of paintings as a "dramatic story, which is full of subtle emotion and photographic accuracy of the image." As stated by Darina Fialko for "Ukurier" magazine: "Among the exhibited work of Nesheva, one can fall in love with black and white paintings, which, as stated in the
press release, are "silent out loud". Every brush stroke gives you chills, as if
canvases speak to the viewer differently: loudly and in whispers, strictly and sensually." In 2016, Ukrainian
art dealer, Anna Turayeva, offered Nesheva to exhibit series of her works at the "Art Basel", the premier
art show of the Americas offering a premier platform for renowned artists. Five of Nesheva's paintings: "Pigeon Lady", "A Girl in A Musk", "Black Flame", "Birch", "Skull" and "Eyes" are displayed in
Institute of Contemporary Art,
Miami, to this day. In December 2016, Nesheva presented her paintings at the art exhibition within the Fashion Air Days at the Contemporary Art Center M17, Kyiv. == List of artworks ==
