About

Olga Shatokha (b. 1990, Dnipro, Ukraine) is a mixed-media and photography artist who investigates memory, home, and belonging.

She creates at the intersection of conceptual art and photography: through stitching, collage, and analog techniques, she transforms photographs into layered objects.


Her work is informed by her Ukrainian heritage and shaped by the cultural influences of the countries she’s lived in since 2015 – Estonia, Portugal, and the UK.

In 2026, she’s moving to London to start Photography MA course in the Royal College of Art.
