Description
A mysterious blue nymph emerges from a golden swamp. This sculptural bone china artwork transforms a vase-shaped form into an immersive botanical fantasy. A marsh nymph turns toward the viewer with a clever, almost teasing expression, surrounded by oversized water-lily leaves, seed pods, winding stems, and finely drawn aquatic vegetation. Her pale cobalt and powder-blue body stands in vivid contrast to the warm metallic gold surface, producing a luminous effect that changes as light moves across the curved form.
The gold areas are created with a 12% liquid gold solution, while overglaze painting brings delicate olive-green, blue, ivory, and charcoal botanical details to the surface. The imagery continues around the object, inviting the viewer to discover different parts of the narrative from every angle. The result combines figurative art, decorative ceramics, fantasy, and botanical ornament in a collectible contemporary object.
Its gold and cobalt palette makes it particularly effective in modern, eclectic, maximalist, or luxury interiors. Displayed on a console, shelf, pedestal, or curated cabinet, it becomes an immediate conversation piece. It is also an original and memorable gift for a ceramic collector, mythology lover, design enthusiast, or someone who prefers art objects with a mysterious personality.
Materials / Medium: Bone china, overglaze paints, 12% liquid gold solution.
Presentation
Oxana Kondratenko was born on November 26, 1972, in Klaipeda, Lithuania.
With a strong academic background and two higher education degrees, she made a conscious transition into the field of art, following her primary vocation—painting. She focused on one of the most demanding mediums: artistic porcelain.
In 2018, Oxana graduated from the College of Traditional Culture. In 2019, she further developed her professional expertise at the renowned Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design in St. Petersburg, mastering the rare and highly skilled profession of porcelain painting artist.
She achieved a high level of mastery and recognition within the professional art community.
Oxana has held several solo exhibitions, including at the Hermitage–Vyborg Exhibition Center in Vyborg, and has participated in numerous international group exhibitions.
A key indicator of her success is the inclusion of her works in state museum collections.
Her works are held in the following collections:
2023, September 4 — State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg
2022, December 19 — Hermitage-Vyborg Exhibition Center, Vyborg
2022, May 13 — Keramarch Museum of Architectural Ceramics, State Bastion of the Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Petersburg
Currently, Oxana is working on her flagship series “Swamp"—a large-scale collection of interior vases in overglaze painting on bone china.
The central motif of the series is the “Swamp Mermaids," who draw the viewer in, leading them into their watery embrace. This is not merely a fairy-tale narrative, but a sensual exploration of human psychology. It represents a conscious confrontation with the fear of the unknown—a bold invitation to look into the deepest hidden realms, where invisible life resides. In this space, the artist discovers fragile beauty and mystery.
Enchanting mermaid figures, born from the collaboration of porcelain, fire, and gold, become guides into a world where fear transforms into beauty, and mystical fog becomes pure art.
