Olga Yakymenko

Hello, I am a Ukrainian artist currently based in France.

My interest lies in watercolor, mixed media and acrylics. I keep exploring different materials and topics in attempt to achieve the lightness, swiftness and vibrance in my works. My works are inspired by life itself, travels, beautful views, by things surrounding me.


As I was forced to leave Ukraine in 2022 because of russian invasion in my country, my art has also become something like a point of balance for me, keeping me going, wondering, searching and discovering. It’s like a trusted method of communication with world and with my own self. Creating artworks is a connection to my previous life, as well as a pass to a new reality yet to be discovered.
