Olena Mynenko

Olena Mynenko is an artist and illustrator with time-served experience as a fashion designer. She was born and studied Fine Art in Kiev (Ukraine),  before completing her final studies in fashion design at Barcelona.

Her most successful projects have been from fashion brands such as Hermes where she felt ¨very proud to have had the experience to work with them in Brussels, Amsterdam and Luxembourg – creating fashion and portrait illustration sketchbooks for their events.¨

The most passionate projects saw her affiliate with perfume and jewellery brands that were ´seeking a classic, sophisticated style but with a contemporary interpretation.

Mynenko has a proven track-record of working with different techniques and mixed medias; ranging from the more traditional watercolour on paper, through to digital illustration.

In 2018 she moved to Cape Town, where she was heavily influenced by the beauty of African Nature and created a collection of African  landscapes in different techniques.

This art project is a reflection of South African adventures of the last couples of years. It's a nostalgic vision of the majestic and the dramatic beauty of South African nature.

Currently lives between Granada (Spain) and Brussels (Belgium) working on one solo exhibition.
