"Lucky Joker" Sculpture

Oleg Kedria

Oleg Kedria is an internationally exhibited Ukrainian-American sculptor whose work brings together classical mastery, contemporary aesthetics, and an uncompromising pursuit of craftsmanship.

Trained in the tradition of monumental and animal-form sculpture at the National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture in Kyiv, Oleg developed his artistic language through a deep understanding of anatomy, movement, proportion, and classical modeling. His sculptures are rooted in centuries of European sculptural tradition, yet transformed through sophisticated materials, striking finishes, and a distinctly contemporary vision.

Since moving to the United States in 2013, Oleg has established an international artistic practice, presenting his work through galleries, art fairs, exhibitions, and private collections in the United States and abroad.

His sculptures are created in bronze, polished AISI 316 stainless steel, titanium nitride, fiberglass, 22K gold, and crystal. Swarovski crystals and other rare natural materials are incorporated not as decoration, but as integral elements of the sculpture’s visual language—creating an unexpected dialogue between classical form, luxury, technology, and light.

Oleg is particularly recognized for his powerful animal sculptures and iconic contemporary figures. His works explore strength, freedom, instinct, movement, and human character through highly refined forms. Every sculpture is conceived as an object of presence—designed not simply to occupy a space, but to command it.

A defining characteristic of Oleg’s practice is his ability to unite museum-level sculptural tradition with the visual impact of contemporary luxury art. His works are created for collectors who value rarity, exceptional craftsmanship, sophisticated materials, and a strong artistic identity.

Beyond gallery exhibitions, Oleg’s practice includes monumental and public sculpture, allowing his work to exist on an architectural scale and engage directly with public environments.

Today, Oleg Kedria’s sculptures are represented internationally and sought after by collectors, galleries, designers, and institutions looking for distinctive works with both artistic substance and strong visual presence.

His philosophy is simple: a sculpture should not merely be seen—it should be remembered.
