Olena Zubach (1981) is a visual artist working in photography and collage from Kyiv, Ukraine, based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Between 2021 and 2023, she studied contemporary photography at the Kyiv School of Photography. She is a prize-winner and winner of international photo contests, participant of exhibitions, while her artworks are presented in the book
100 Contemporary Ukrainian Photographers and published in photo publications. Her works are part of private collections. In her work, Zubach explores the relationship between photographic imagery and painting. She uses basic, almost ascetic forms, combining them into well-thought-out geometric compositions in an effort to achieve ideal simplicity. Her goal is to combine these elements in her artwork to create a unique dimension of visual expression. While working on still lifes, she seeks beauty in simplicity and in traditional forms that humanity has used for millennia.
In her series
Near Monochrome and
Worn Gold, Olena Zubach presents her signature photographic still lifes in striking monochrome shades. The artist’s tireless dedication to perfecting her motifs over recent years has undoubtedly paid off, as her refined artworks depicting seemingly everyday household objects reveal a harmony of shapes and colours of a simultaneously calming and inspiring nature.
