Portrait of Ukrainian artist Olya Kopeleva.

Olga Kopeleva is an artist who lives and works in Ukraine. In 2016, she graduated from the Mykhailo Boichuk Kyiv State Academy of Decorative Applied Arts and Design, specializing in monumental painting. She launched her active artistic career in 2020.

Olga has participated in major projects at the Korsaks Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art in Lutsk, including “Cosmogony of Senses” (2023) and “The Other Nearby” (2026).

Her portfolio also features solo and group projects curated by Bagrat Arazyan at the Center for Contemporary Art Pivka in Slovenia. In 2025, her work was featured in the exhibition “Crossword the Line” at the Mriya Gallery in the USA.

In addition to these, she has taken part in numerous other exhibitions and art initiatives. Currently, Olga continues to develop her existing series of works while preparing for upcoming exhibitions and new projects.

Olga is a contemporary Ukrainian artist working at the intersection of large-scale painting and refined linear graphics. At the core of her visual language lies a complex architecture of lines. The author’s creative process is built upon a deep exploration of spatial structures, rhythms, and the interaction of multi-layered, translucent planes. Working with canvas, acrylics, and professional acrylic markers, the artist strikes a balance between abstract expression and strict graphic discipline.

Olga does not depict reality; instead, she conveys her attitude toward it. She explores her subconscious, transforming internal processes and experiences into artistic images. The creation of each new piece is a search for composition, color forms, and meanings.
