Art for Ukraine

Using art as a form of self-expression, Olga pays special attention to maintaining spontaneity in her practice. Her signature dark backgrounds possess a striking level of depth and function as the ideal backdrop for her intuitive layering of colour and texture onto the surface of the canvas. Her abstract, expressionist brushwork creates the illusion of motion within the image. A fleshy, biomorphic shape emerges from the work's surface, the unique texture of oil paints acting not only as a metaphor but also as a physical release for repressed emotions.

Olga Shcheblykina (b. 1986) is a visual artist from Kamianske, Ukraine, experimenting in fields of painting, photography and installation art. Having obtained a BA in Design and Illustration from Hertfordshire University, she is currently pursuing an MFA at Kunst University in Linz, Austria.
