About

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

Based in Lisbon since 2019, she creates at the intersection of conceptual art and photography, combining visual narrative with intimate, tactile processes. Through stitching, thread, collage, and analog techniques, she transforms photographs into layered objects that map the convergence of personal and collective experience.

Her work is informed by her Ukrainian heritage and shaped by the cultural influences of her current home in Portugal.
