Gritsenko Olga

Olga Hrytsenko is a Ukrainian contemporary artist, architect, and researcher of plastic thinking. She serves as the Head of the Kremenchuk City Organization of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.

Artistic Credo: “From the visible, know the invisible.” Her mission in art is to explore the architectonics of memory through color and light. Utilizing multi-layered glazing and fluorescent pigments, she creates a "holographic code" on the canvas, where painting exists not as a mere image, but as an active optical event within the viewer's consciousness.

Key Research: In her practice, Hrytsenko advances the theories of José Maria Dias da Cruz, specifically the concept of "The Eternal Grey" (O Eterno Cinza) and the theory of Plastic Thinking. Her original "Holographic Code" method combines glazing and impasto to create the effect of internal luminescence. This focus on visual perception allows the painting to be finalized in the viewer's mind through coherent resonance, synthesizing quantum optics with Hryhoriy Skovoroda’s philosophical teachings on the "two natures" of reality.
