Oksana Omelchuk is a Kyiv-based visual artist and contemporary photographer working at the intersection of fine art, architecture, and experimental photography.

A multiple award winner of international photography competitions, she has developed a distinctive visual language that blurs the boundaries between photography and visual art.

Oksana began her professional artistic journey in 2021 at the Kyiv School of Photography, where photography quickly evolved from a field of study into her life’s work. She later continued her education at Form Photo Academy in France, deepening her conceptual and artistic approach.

Holding a master’s degree in Economics and having a background in journalism and PR, Oksana consciously redefines the traditional hierarchy of image and text. In her practice, photography is not an illustration of a story – it is the primary message itself, complemented by subtle, reflective storytelling.

With a strong foundation in fine art and over six years of formal art education, she seamlessly combines photography, scanography, and digital techniques to create works that exist between reality and imagination. Her practice focuses on emotional resonance and philosophical depth, transforming everyday subjects into spaces for reflection and inner dialogue, engaging both heart and mind.

Her works have been featured on LensCulture and in international publications including VOGUE (PhotoVogue), All About Photo Magazine, ARTDOC Photography Magazine, Dodho Magazine, and FotoNostrum Magazine, as well as in the books “100 Contemporary Ukrainian Photographers” published by Form.Paris, and “101 Art Book: Photography Edition” by Arts To Hearts Project.

Oksana has exhibited internationally at major photography and contemporary art events across Europe and the United States, including Photo London, ST-ART Strasbourg and Art Expo New York. Her works have been exhibited in Ukraine, France, Spain, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

In 2026, her artwork “Lily” became the basis for a fashion collaboration with Ukrainian brand PONOCHOVNA, resulting in the capsule silk scarf collection “Lily” by PONOCHOVNA × OKSANA OMELCHUK presented at TSUM Kyiv.

Works by Oksana Omelchuk are held in private collections in Ukraine, France, and the United States.
