Oksana Sadovenko

Bio

(*1988)

Gesture and authentic statement is an essential quantity for Oksana Sadovenko, who studies at the Department of Painting (Studio 3EAM, led by Rostislav Sedlačík) at VŠVU in Bratislava. The author starts from a basic black background, on which she paints distinctive conceptual paintings. It is based on the symbolism, personal and cultural history of one's own roots, when, on top of all that, the painting is supplemented with texts that underline the meaning and essence of the painting's message itself. For the author, the painting is a synthesis of authentic collective history and contemporary language. Echoes of ancient myths and Russian constructivism appear in the intermingling of the profile of a person and a bird, as a hint of an effort to leave everything around, to penetrate into a world opposite to the one in which we live.
