RU voices with Oksana Zmiyevska (Residency: July 2025)

Featuring RU artist-in-residence Oksana Zmiyevska (@oksana_zmiyevska) in the RU Voices interview series 🎤 

Oksana’s body of work explores portraiture as a political and psychological genre. When it comes to self-portraits, Zmiyevska candidly exposes vulnerability and self-criticism, but also admiration and experience of self-intimacy. The border between personal and political remains very fragile in Zmiyevska’s oeuvre. Faces and figures on her canvases manifest entanglements of life, and history, and passions that we have to navigate; and it is much more complicated than just to fight or to embrace.
