Alena Olasyuk is a Ukrainian-raised, Beijing-shaped, and Paris-based artist.

She explores in Between. With lines of ink and texts.

Working primarily with Chinese ink and a nib pen on paper, layering and transforming the work beyond its original form. It remains a timeless investigation: a diary of intimacy, stillness, memory, transformation, and, inevitably, war.

Through repetition and layering, both visual and textual, her work builds a quiet resistance: obsessive, personal.
