Oksana Lukianenko

The buzz around architect-turned-artist Oksana Lukianenko has been growing for quite some years and now reaches far beyond Poland — the country where she moved to hone her skills from her native Ukraine. One look at her pieces is all it takes to get how irreprehensible her technique is. But even that gets overshadowed by her penchant for making realism and surrealism work together, often jumping from bold colors to black and grey and back again in the same composition. Her tattoo magic keeps getting her awards at conventions, but she has higher accolades under her belt: universal admiration of her peers and fans around the globe.
