About Olena Fedii
Light
As an artist and primary school teacher with over twenty years of experience, my practice is defined by a deep commitment to education and the healing power of creativity. Having found a vital sanctuary in art during the conflict in my homeland of Ukraine, I use my work to bridge the gap between emotional resilience and artistic expression. My art work is original. Using the golden leaves, modeling paste and acrylic paint,
I created a spicial Lights collection which represents our own garden .
I believe that every human being carries an inner light—an innate energy that guides us through darkness and gives us the strength to pursue our deepest aspirations. My current work is a visual exploration of this internal spark and the personal landscapes we create throughout our lives.
Viewing life as a continuous act of cultivation, I use rich, heavily textured brushwork and dramatic, sweeping illumination to map our personal journeys. In my paintings, floating bubbles represent our unfulfilled potential and hopes, while blooming flowers stand as a testament to the dreams we have successfully realized. Ultimately, I view life as a canvas. Through the golden, diagonal rays of light that pierce my compositions, I hope to capture the determination required to cultivate a vibrant, beautiful, and abundant inner garden. This year my work Light was the cover for the exhibition Unbroken light in Swiss Cottage library.

My passion
Art has been a passion of mine since my childhood. My initial inspirations came from the natural surroundings that I grew up in which was a town located very close to nature . I was especially drawn to beautiful spring flowers, which often remained in my thoughts long after sighting them . That became the bedrock of my art going forward and inspired the various creations that I try to reproduce in my art.
Product
My work is an exploration of texture, light, and the organic beauty of the natural world. Each piece is a unique, original creation built through a tactile, mixed-media process. By layering heavy modeling pastes with vibrant acrylics and delicate gold leaf, I create a physical depth that invites the viewer to look closer. These materials allow me to mimic the unpredictable rhythms of nature—where the shimmer of light meets the raw, grounded feeling of earth.

This acrylic piece is a tribute to the power we all carry inside. The radiant colors represent the inner light that guides us toward our goals. In this work, every flower is a realized dream. The message is simple: Believe in your light, take responsibility for your journey, and watch as your life begins to bloom.
This striking abstract piece, titled "Love," is a tactile exploration of emotion, rendered through a sophisticated blend of deep pigments and heavy physical texture. Using a combination of acrylics, modeling paste, and gold, the artist has created a work that feels less like a flat image and more like a living, breathing landscape of the heart.
