Olena is an artist originally from Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Forced to flee her homeland due to the war, she found refuge in Ireland, where her journey took an unexpected turn — she was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment.
Throughout these difficult times, creativity became her source of strength and healing. Working with beads and crystals, Elena began creating intricate, heartfelt jewelry that reflects both resilience and beauty.
Her beaded designs, now showcased in this exhibition, are more than just adornments — they are symbols of hope, survival, and the healing power of art.
