Olesia Grygoruk

Olesia is a Ukrainian artist living and working in Tyrol, Austria.

Educated at the State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture in Ukraine, her path into the world of fine art has always been guided by an inner creative force—an impulse both persistent and deeply compelling.

Her work is rooted in everyday social life and a quiet, ongoing dialogue with nature. These moments—whether fleeting or profound—form the foundation of her visual language.

She works primarily with mixed media, oil, and acrylic. Her process is intuitive and emotional: color, light, and texture each play a vital role in shaping atmosphere and mood. Through layered surfaces and expressive gestures, she seeks to evoke emotion, invite reflection, and create a sense of connection.

In recent years, Olesia has participated in both national and international exhibitions, showcasing her work in Ukraine, Austria and abroad.
