Oksana Gural

At the center of my artistic practice is the exploration of energies, connections, and states that shape the human being and the environment.
I work with the point as a structural element, building forms that resemble natural systems and networks.
My visual language conveys a sense of tactility through vision—as a point of contact where interaction emerges.

The themes I engage with are existential: freedom and responsibility, overcoming existential isolation through connection, and the meaning of life as a sensory experience.
My research focuses on interaction in symbiosis, which generates synergy.
The aim of this research is to identify the conditions under which energy and resources accumulate or dissipate within systems: “body–environment,” “energy–form,” and “human–nature.
