Oksana Fedchyshyn
Artist from Israel
Oksana Fedchyshyn (b. 1999, Ukraine) is an artist based in Ukraine. Graduated in Painting at Lviv State College of Decorative and Applied Arts Ivan Trush and in Graphic Design at Lviv National Academy of Arts.
Fedchyshy is inspired by folk art, mythology, and people. She often turns to the topic of the human connection with nature and the metamorphosis of bodies. Her art becomes a dialogue between inner and outer worlds, where humans and animals coexist in harmony, sometimes merging with each other to reveal deeper truths about who we are.
In her work, Fedchyshy often turns to simple naive motifs, images of various fictional, often zoomorphic characters. Such visual images easily arose from poems rich in aphorisms and metaphors. Works of their kind conduct a constant dialogue with poetry.
In 2018, she was awarded the Index Mariusz Kazana competition prize and held her first solo exhibition. Since then, she has exhibited her work in solo and group shows across Ukraine, Poland, and Germany.
