Olena Nahorniuk

Olena Nahorniuk was born in 1990 in Ukraine. She studied painting at a children's art school and won prizes in various competitions. In 2013, after completing her studies at the medical university in Vinnytsia, she started working as a general practitioner. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Olena, like all medical workers, had to work in difficult conditions. The constant overtime and lack of rest led to emotional burnout. Therefore, in 2020, Olena returned to painting as self-therapy. She painted landscapes with oil and watercolor paints because nature healed her wounds and gave her the strength to continue her work - restored, soothed, and inspired.
With her art, the artist wants to call on all volunteers to take care of themselves, be aware of how to avoid burnout, and remain effective.
