Olena Kuzenko

I am Elena Kuzenko (Olena Kuzenko), a professional oil painter based in Odesa, Ukraine. I completed my training at an art school in St. Petersburg, mastering classical realism, anatomy, and color theory. I am focusing on human-made art that captures emotional truth through the strict logic of light and shadow. My painting style is deeply inspired by the mastery of light and shadow found in the works of Rembrandt, the fluid brushwork of John Singer Sargent, and the atmospheric color palette of Claude Monet.
​My professional achievements include winning the XX International Art Festival "MALUY.UA" in Kyiv and being published in the April 2026 issue of Arty Rat magazine. Regionally, I constantly exhibit my works in local galleries in Odessa. Globally, my artwork has been exhibited on the West Coast of California, and this upcoming autumn, two of my paintings will be proudly presented at an exhibition in the center of Barcelona, Spain.
