Oxana Morasch

Oxana Morasch is a Berlin-based contemporary artist whose practice explores identity, memory, emotional transformation, and the transitional states that reshape our understanding of ourselves and others. With an academic background in Audiovisual Media and professional experience spanning photography, moving image, production, and visual storytelling, Morasch brings a distinctly cinematic sensitivity to painting. Working primarily with acrylic and mixed media, she develops her surfaces through successive processes of layering, concealment, disruption, and revelation. Lines change direction, forms emerge and disappear, while traces of earlier interventions remain visible beneath later layers, reflecting the way memory and identity continuously evolve. Her ongoing series, What Lives Within Us, All at Once, examines states of becoming—the uncertain territory between who we have been and who we are becoming. Motherhood and changing intergenerational relationships provide an intimate point of departure, opening onto broader questions of love, freedom, connection, childhood, loss, and transformation. Earth tones and ochres evoke origin and accumulated memory; blue introduces movement and transformation; recurring red traces suggest love and the persistence of emotional connection. Morasch deliberately avoids imposing a single interpretation, allowing personal experience to provide the emotional foundation while abstraction creates space for the viewer's own memories and associations. Her 2026 work Emerging, selected by the artist as particularly representative of her current direction, brings together these concerns through acrylic, texture paste, sand, and crackle techniques. Oxana Morasch lives and works in Berlin, Germany, and is represented internationally by Abstract Art Gallery, Riga.
