In the quiet beauty of simple things, I find inspiration - and speak through tempera, gold leaf, and the timeless rhythm of Ukrainian sacred art.
Biography
Olya Kravchenko is a Ukrainian painter born in 1985 in Lviv. A graduate of the Lviv National Academy of Arts, she studied restoration and developed a strong command of ancient techniques such as egg tempera and gilding. Deeply rooted in Ukrainian artistic tradition – her grandfather was a painter of the Boichukist school – her work often reflects this heritage through stylized forms and structured compositions. Kravchenko's paintings reinterpret sacred imagery through a modern lens, elevating everyday moments into symbolic reflections on human presence and perception. Her artworks frequently blend painting with audiovisual elements, resulting in immersive, multisensory exhibitions. Her works are held in museum and private collections across Europe, the Americas, and Australia.
