Oleksandra Serhiienko

I was born in 1983 in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. In February 2022, due to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I evacuated to Poland with my children, where I have been living and working ever since. My artistic practice is rooted in watercolor, drawing, and botanical imagery, through which I explore themes of identity, female experience, forced migration, and the ways memory and cultural narratives shape our perception of ourselves and others. My works have been presented in group exhibitions in Ukraine, Turkey, Poland, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.

As an artist, I strive to manifest the invisible: to give silence a voice and memory living color. I understand this as a form of love, a recognition of the value of life in all its manifestations, and at the same time as a responsibility for what we choose to see, preserve, and nurture. Through botanical imagery, work with text, and forms borrowed from nature, I explore questions of identity, female experience, life in forced migration, and the ways culture, memory, and social narratives shape our understanding of ourselves and others. When you are invisible to the world, it is as if you do not exist.
