Olena Mosiyevych

Olena Mosiyevych (b. 1978) is a Ukrainian-born, U.S.-based artist with a background in both artistic practice and academic research. She studied contemporary drawing and painting at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, and art history at the Ukrainian Catholic University. She holds a PhD in Finance and Economics from the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

Mosiyevych’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago. She was an artist-in-residence at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, and her work is held in the Slavic and East European Collections of Princeton University Library. 

In anticipation of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she moved to Nebraska, United States. Due to the military conflict, the fate of her works held in several Ukrainian museum collections, including the Kuindzhi Center for Contemporary Art in Mariupol, remains unknown. Mosiyevych’s work has also supported fundraising initiatives for Ukraine.
