Olga Gera

I am a Ukrainian artist based in Germany, redefining Petrykivka painting as a contemporary visual language of color, depth, and light. Inspired by Kuindzhi’s luminous space, William Morris’s rhythm, the elegance of Art Nouveau, the clarity of Japanese minimalism, and the mastery of traditional Petrykivka painters, I transform ornament into narratives of resilience, memory, and atmosphere — a practice that feels both timeless and vividly present.
