SACRED
SPACE

Oksana Kondratyeva is a painter and stained glass artist. Born in Ukraine, she has lived and worked in London since 2004. She graduated from the University of Bonn, Germany, with degree in economics and worked in the City before studying Glass and Architecture at post-graduate level at Central St Martins College of Art and Design, London. She shares her time with Kiev where she has published on architecture and synthesis of arts.

Oksana sees her works as full of deep-rooted polarities: visible and invisible, being and non-being, solid and intangible. Glass allows her to work with the most subtle of matter – the light. Throughout her works she aspires to define the essence of architecture of light and to explore the secrets of its inner space. She places bold emphases on structuring the space and on systematised visual expressions of forms. Composition and colour created by the rhythm of form and the rhythm of light respectively represent for her a fundamental working formula.
