    Alena Olasyuk is a Ukrainian artist based in Paris, after twelve years in Beijing and time in Vienna. She studied Art and Journalism at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and debuted her first solo exhibition, Three Steps, in 2014. Since then, her work has been shown internationally in China, Taiwan, Ukraine, France, and at the Curitiba Biennale in Brazil (2017). Recent highlights include two solo exhibitions in Taiwan (2020, 2021) and Ode to Lines at HD Galerie, Paris (2024). Her practice centers on the line — obsessive, repetitive, and diaristic. What began in Beijing with Chinese ink and a Soviet nib pen has developed into a long-term investigation of time, memory, and belonging. While drawing remains central, Olasyuk expands this language into canvas, rice paper, embroidery, woodcut, resin, photography, and limited-edition zines. She also creates guided meditations connected to her works, transforming exhibitions into spaces of reflection and stillness, where art becomes both visual and experiential. Positioned in dialogue with Agnes Martin, Pierre Soulages, and François Morellet, her work insists on its diaristic and lived dimension. Each series is less an isolated project than a continuation of an ongoing record, where repetition becomes a method of transformation. Alongside her studio practice, Olasyuk has been invited as a scholar-artist at the USC–SJTU Institute of Cultural and Creative Industry (Shanghai), and has held residencies at Planta Alta and CRA Matadero in Madrid. She has collaborated with international brands including Peugeot and Vogue TV China, and regularly writes on diverse topics including creativity, identity, and communication.
