   Hi, Welcome to my art,

I am an Ukrainian creator living in Amsterdam.  I studied at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Kiev and successfully graduated from the Fotovakschool of Amsterdam.     

Architecture as a form of art has always inspired and uplifted me. We are all guests on this earth for only a short time but architectural structures and art remain generations. For Years I have traveled a certain classical path as an artist, painting the Dutch masters, working with materials of all kinds and mastering old and new techniques.

 I had the privilege  to be invited to the “St Petersburg Collection” created  by Theo and Sarah Faberge in Belgium 2006-2007.

I  have the honor of having one of my paintings in the home of Patricia Kaas, one of the most famous singers in France.

In 2012 I started working with colored glass and fell in love with the energy that light and glass can create in sculpture. I melt and shape my own glass and have developed my own technique, “Deva Oksana Glass”. Each piece is a one of a kind. No duplicates or replicas. My glass Creations have been exhibited in the McKeban Gallery, Laguna Beach, California . 

As a photographer I was honored to create a photo exhibit to increase public awareness about Female Genital Mutilation (FMG)  Centre for a Visual Art Amsterdam in March 2018. My photography project “Phantom Pain”  was chosen as a finalist for the “Keep an Eye” award in November 2019 Rotterdam, Netherlands.
