Bio of artists
Violetta Oliinyk (b. 1995) is a Ukrainian artist, jeweller and performer. She graduated from the Lviv School of Art, majoring in art glass and stained glass, and from the College of Art and Design in Vyzhnytsia, majoring in jewellery.
In her work she explores the possibilities of the artist’s influence on society. The main areas of her work are performance, video, and jewellery.
In Chernivtsi, she conducted a series of performances aimed at awakening the memory of the city, a dialogue with its forgotten history by recreating places that no longer exist. In 2021, she received a Canada Council grant for a joint project with Taras Polataiko.
Since the beginning of the full-scale russian* invasion of Ukraine, Violetta has been making jewellery and organising auctions to raise funds for Ukrainian volunteers.
Her brothers and father are at war.
