Ghala Vasylenko

Ghala Vasylenko is a Ukrainian metamodernist artist living in France. Born in 1990 in Central Ukraine, she was educated in economics and auditing, which helped develop her analytical thinking and unique approach to art. In 2019 she completed her studies at the Odessa Academy of Jewellery Art, which gave her a deeper understanding of forms and materials and allowed her to redefine the boundaries between figurativity and abstraction. In 2022, she moved to France where she is fully dedicated to art and uses it as a way to express herself and influence the world. Art Statement ‘My journey as an artist is a journey along the spiral path of life, where I create a red thread for the viewer to hold on to. My art is an exploration of systemic errors, those moments in human, social and natural life that move away from the centre of this spiral and then return to it by the power of attention. It is my personal ritual, a process of ‘alchemy’ that turns problems into opportunities, a process of internal and external migration.’
