I am Elena Kuzenko (Olena Kuzenko), a Ukrainian contemporary oil painter based in Odesa. Rooted in classical realism, my practice combines a strong knowledge of anatomy, color, light, and shadow with an emotional approach to figurative painting.
My work explores the fragility of human feelings, family bonds, inner balance, and the search for safety in an uncertain world. Living through the war in Ukraine has deepened my interest in how people preserve hope, dignity, and compassion during times of crisis. Through symbolic images and visual narratives, I seek to invite reflection while retaining beauty and light.
My work has been presented by ArtSeen, Clover Gallery, Visual Art Journal, and Arty Rat Magazine. I received a Winner Diploma at the XX International Art Festival MALUY.UA in Kyiv and was selected for The Big Book of Painters 2026 by Arts to Hearts Project. My paintings were also selected for physical exhibitions in Barcelona and Budapest in 2026.
