Olga Yukhno

Columbia, SC

Olga Yukhno is an artist originally from Russia. Inspired by the culture



of her home country, she started by working with stained glass and enameling,



before moving to the US in 2008 where she fell in love with ceramics. It allowed



her to experiment and fuse old-world artistry with her skills across a wide variety of



art forms to create unique mixed media pieces. Olga has traveled to over 40



countries and visited museums ranging from the world famous Louvre, to the



smallest unnamed art displays in towns and villages few outsiders have ever seen.



It is in these travels she gets the most inspiration, drawing on the uniqueness and



culture of every new place, she finds ways to incorporate those cultural nuances



into each new piece she makes. The colors, shapes, and ideas of everything from



tribal masks to modern street art can be seen woven into her work. She loves



juxtaposition in her art, old and new, lustrous and weathered, and it's in these



contrasts she finds beauty.
