The artist was part of the team creating the first full-length animated film made using the painting technique "Loving Vincent". She creates in oil on canvas technique. The most characteristic feature of Olena's work is a very expressive, rough texture. Her compositions are "woven" from all those bumps, concaves and dents. For the origins of this method can be traced back to the tapestries the artist wove during her studies.
