“Crush 02”, 45 x 40 cm, 2025, Acrylics and pastel on canvas

Olga Krykun (b. 1994, Odesa, Ukraine) invents a self-contradicting mythology of our time by combining elements of fictional narratives with references to real cultural and socially relevant symbols. Her practice is strongly rooted in intuition, emotion, and personal experience; thus, her mood, cultural heritage, women’s narratives, and the post-internet era greatly influence her work. These elements are approached with an ever-evolving distinct visual style and specific aesthetic, making her works reminiscent of surreal visions or a dreamlike trance, resulting in a highly suggestive viewer experience. “Crush” is a new series by Olga Krykun where she traces the complexities of girlhood, online culture, and ambivalent emotions.
