Artist’s Statement:

"The composition consists of fragmented elements, echoing the structural patterns of camouflage fabric. These fragments act as 'shards of memory'—

a conscious effort to preserve life's most beautiful moments. Within the context of war, the artwork serves as a spiritual talisman (obereh), protecting

the essence of peace through the power of memory."

The Tree of Life

As an independent curator, Olga Selyshcheva presented "The Tree of Life" — an international multidisciplinary project at the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The exhibition addresses the ruthless destruction of Ukraine’s ecosystems and the loss of rare species due to the brutal war.

In Ukrainian culture, the "Tree of Life" is a profound ancient symbol that bridges heaven and earth, past and future. While Ukraine remains one of the most mined countries in the world, this project reminds us of life's invincible beauty and the enduring power of hope.

By connecting pagan roots with contemporary reality, the exhibition explores the tension between life and death, transforming a symbol of heritage into a call for ecological and spiritual preservation.

This centerpiece of the series is a contemporary homage to the graphic heritage of Heorhiy Narbut, reflecting his mastery of line and symbolic composition. Rooted in ancient Ukrainian tradition, the "Tree of Life" serves as a profound personification of all living existence. It acts as a spiritual axis, bridging heaven and earth, while connecting the wisdom of the past with the possibilities of the future. Executed in mixed media on a grand scale of 100x140 cm, the work combines intricate detailing with a bold, modern vision of folk cosmology.


Pop-up Exhibition "Do not look back"

This project explores the inevitable transformation of the classical world view under the influence of the modern media environment and pop culture. The exhibition features a central painting complemented by a series

of objects, symbolizing the penetration of contemporary visual languages into traditional artistic narratives.

Choosing a unique, alternative space on one of Leiden’s main streets allowed for a direct dialogue between

the artwork and the urban community, supporting the idea that art should exist within the flow of modern life.

The Lady with the Pet Dog

The Lady with the Dog has long been an established icon of elegance and grace. However, the protagonists of this series are women who have spent their lives in the shadows of grueling, low-wage labor, accompanied by their faithful, street-worn dogs. Despite a lifetime of hardship, their dream of elegance remains. They reach for a plastic shopping bag—a cheap imitation of a luxury brand—as their only bridge to a world of beauty they were never invited to join.
