Oksana Veber
My inspiration is beauty and harmony which exists in nature. Painting is an attempt to recreate and capture it.
Born in Siberia to a Ukrainian-German family, the artist painter works from her studio in London. Oksana's work is wide-ranging, from landscapes to portraits. She has lived in the UK since 2010, and in the Czech Republic for several years. She studied art at Bryansk Art College and Kyiv Academy of Fine Arts, and later BA in Psychology from the Academy of Human Resource Management in Kyiv. A member of the UK Artists Union, Oksana has been painting since the age of four and exhibiting since 1987. Her paintings can be seen in galleries and private collections worldwide. Her style has changed over the years. The first paintings were landscapes that reflected a fascination with Daoism and other Eastern philosophies and included themes of peace and harmony. Recent works contain the same theme, but by depicting women in a warm and positive style. The subtle use of colours, ranging from warm wood to gold and copper, gives these paintings a unique and sensual aura. Over the past seven years, she has participated in art workshops in Croatia and Bulgaria, which has allowed the artist to pursue her love of nature and work in harmony with it. The art style continues to evolve, and the paintings are becoming more abstract. The use of colour, line, and form demonstrates communication and connection between the figures and the background while conveying movement that brings each work to life.
Oksana's statement: “The beauty and harmony of nature always inspires me, and my paintings are an attempt to reflect and capture this. My earliest childhood memories are of sitting in a tree overlooking a gorge and watching the first rays of morning sun mingle with the bands of mist rising from fields of tall grass before slowly dissipating. Whether I paint a woman's body, a still life, or a landscape, I use lines and colours to record this feeling of harmony on a canvas. Pictures often come to me in my dreams at night – with the combination of colours and the composition appearing very lifelike. When I wake, I quickly sketch the images I have seen in my dreams before they disappear in the daylight.”

MAS Exhibition 2019, "Magic Glass" Oksana Veber
People had used naturally occurring glass, especially obsidian (the volcanic glass) before they learned how to make glass. Obsidian was used to produce knives, arrowheads, jewellery, and money.
The ancient Roman historian Pliny suggested that Phoenician merchants had made the first glass in the region of Syria around 5000BC. But according to the archaeological evidence, the first manufactured glass was in Eastern Mesopotamia and Egypt around 3500BC, and the first glass vessels were made about 1500BC in Egypt and Mesopotamia. For the next three hundred years, the glass industry was increased rapidly and then declined. In Mesopotamia, it was revived in the 700BC and in Egypt in the 500’s BC. For the next five hundred years, Egypt, Syria, and the other countries along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea were centres for glass manufacturing.

Whispers of Collaboration: Oksana Veber's Artistry Unveiled
Unveiling Oksana Veber's Enigmatic Canvas: In A Journey of Creativity and Bond
In the realm of artistic expression, where imagination knows no bounds, Oksana Veber emerges as a luminary. Her canvas, a portal to an alternate dimension of creativity, beckons art enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. Within the confines of a compact, abstract square painting, geometry transforms into a conduit for two vivacious spirits, embarking on an odyssey that unveils their destiny. A symphony of triangles, squares, and unconventional shapes lay the foundation for this masterpiece, each form a testament to the tenacity of friendship and collaborative energy.
Geometry as the Language of Connection
The canvas speaks a language only the heart can understand. Geometric shapes, meticulously constructed, coalesce to create an intricate tapestry reminiscent of stained-glass artistry. The meticulous arrangement of these shapes, guided by the hand of the artist, births an illusion of movement and dynamism that captures the essence of life itself. It is as if the very wind they are poised to encounter has been woven into the fabric of the canvas, giving it an ethereal vitality.
Colours: A Palette of Emotion
The colour palette that dances across Oksana Veber's canvas is more than a visual delight; it's a narrative of emotions. A vibrant cobalt blue, reminiscent of the serenity found in twilight skies, serves as the backdrop. Its presence evokes a sense of hope and mystery, inviting viewers to explore the depths of their own imagination. The pulse of carmine red, a hue that symbolizes passion and resilience, resonates boldly. It's almost as if the very hearts of the depicted companions beat in synchrony, undeterred by the challenges that lie ahead.
Amidst this symphony of hues, cobalt yellow emerges, akin to the gentle rays of the sun illuminating the path before them. It's a beacon of positivity, guiding these two spirited beings on their transformative journey.
The Tale of Camaraderie and Courage
Oksana Veber's creation is more than just paint on canvas; it's a story waiting to be discovered. As observers gaze upon this artwork, they find themselves enveloped in a narrative of camaraderie, cooperation, and unwavering courage. Each brushstroke serves as a testament to the potential of human connection, a reminder that together, we can overcome even the most formidable challenges.
The geometric forms, united against the backdrop of a turbulent world, advance hand in hand, a symbol of indomitable spirit. The pale blue swirls that represent the wind they confront come alive, lending an aura of dynamism and vigour to the composition. Yet, these two figures continue their journey undeterred, illustrating that adversity is no match for the power of collaboration.
A Canvas of Endless Interpretation
Art, at its core, is a mirror that reflects the soul of both the creator and the observer. Oksana Veber's masterpiece encapsulates this sentiment, allowing room for unrestricted interpretation. With each gaze, a new layer of significance unfurls, inviting viewers to craft their own narrative within the bounds of the canvas.
As diverse as humanity itself, each observer projects their experiences, dreams, and aspirations onto the artwork. It becomes a mirror through which they glimpse the reflection of their own journey—a story of resilience, of confronting the unknown with unwavering determination.
Beyond the Canvas: Embodying Resilience
The artwork of Oksana Veber is a testament to the resilience that resides within us all. It's a reminder that life's challenges are merely opportunities for growth and transformation. In a world that often feels tumultuous, her creation stands as a beacon of hope—a symbol that two individuals, united in purpose, can navigate the most treacherous of paths with grace and courage.
A Call to Embrace the Unknown in a society that typically values the familiar, Oksana Veber's canvas urges us to embrace the unknown with open arms. Just as her geometric forms venture into uncharted territory, so too must we step outside our comfort zones to embark on our own journeys of self-discovery. The canvas becomes an invitation—a reminder that the most profound growth occurs when we dare to traverse the unexplored.
A Legacy of Possibility
As we immerse ourselves in the world of Oksana Veber's artistry, we find ourselves drawn into a legacy of possibility. The canvas, though static in form, pulses with the energy of potential. It's a reminder that every stroke of the brush holds the power to inspire, uplift, and awaken dormant dreams.
Exploring No-Code and Low-Code: Navigating the Digital Realm
Away from the canvas and into the realm of technology, Oksana Veber's journey takes a different turn. A resident of London, UK, Oksana's artistic spirit led her to explore the world of no-code and low-code development. With a foundation laid in a small 2-day course, she found herself at the crossroads of creativity and technology.
The digital landscape presents its own canvas—one where imagination and innovation converge. The no-code and low-code movement empowers individuals to bring their ideas to life, transforming concepts into functional digital solutions. As Oksana embarks on this new journey, she seeks guidance—a recommendation for a program or course that will deepen her understanding of this burgeoning field.
Embracing Learning: A Journey Unfolds
Oksana's quest for knowledge mirrors the essence of her artistic endeavours. Just as her canvas evolves with each brushstroke, so too does her mind expand with every piece of information she gathers. The intertwining of creativity and technology becomes a narrative of its own—one where the pursuit of learning leads to the illumination of new pathways.
Elevating Art and Innovation: A Legacy in the Making
In the realm of artistic expression and digital exploration, Oksana Veber's name emerges as a guiding light. Her canvas, a masterpiece of colour and form, invites us to reimagine our own narratives. As we stand on the threshold of the unknown, her journey reminds us that, like the wind-defying forms on her canvas, we too can shape our destiny through collaboration, resilience, and the unrelenting pursuit of knowledge.

Art Exhibition. Fusion glass collection by Oksana Veber.
Glass Boudoir.
The opening is on the 20 October 2020.
Wide range of beautiful subjects, based on nature observation.
I admire Dalmatian coast, ambience, abundant nature manifestations and especially a lot of shades of blue colour, deep in the sea and sky. I love to include in my works woman's body, sea, boats, birds, fish, flowers, glass objects, involved memories and fragments of everyday life impressions.
Combination of line and colour, transparency, and opaque strong splashes, all locked in glass forms, aquarelle effects translated into glass. It was an idea to recreate those subtle and strong colours and free-flowing lines in a fusion glass technique, as I used to do in the oil on canvas technique. The material is quite different and sometimes unpredictable, which creates an extra challenge. The glass powders – colours do not look the same before and after firing. This requires memorizing how are they going to look, to achieve the desired effect.

The name of the exhibition was inspired by my travels to Hawaii island.
I was invited to the USA as an artist in residence on the Hawaii island for one month.
The range of climate and lifestyles is huge on that island. I was above the clouds in the mountain remote Buddhist Sanctuary, in various villages near the ocean, big cities and based near erupting Volcano villages.
In order to get the diverse feel of Island live I was offered a few days stay on the Vanilla farm in Waipio Valley. This is wild Rainforest and jungles surrounded by stip rocks and huge waterfalls connected to the ocean.
Were I was learning many things and among them how to pollinate Vanilla Flowers to facilitate the Vanilla seed growth. It was an exciting journey. I tried fresh cocoa beans and cava plant juice, met wild horses family in jungles, leaving in a cabin on tall legs attached to the rocks, I saw trees falling right beside me...

Unutarnji svijet žena u apstrakcijama ruske slikarice Oksane Veber
Autor: A.L. u Uto, 08/08/2017 - 11:21
PREKO – Oksana Veber, ruska slikarica koja je često progovarala kroz ženske portrete, i na najnovijoj izložbi pod nazivom „Refleksije“ predstavlja se iznimno kolorističnim apstrakcijama u čijoj se pozadini naziru ženski likovi.
Četrdeset i tri slike, ulja i akrilna boja na platnu, nastale u protekle dvije godine na otoku Ugljanu, premijerno je u ponedjeljak navečer izložila u galeriji Dom na žalu u Preku jer je otok, prema vlastitu priznanju, mjesto njezina najvećeg mira, inspiracije i ravnoteže.
Iako izlaže diljem Europe, sa stalne londonske adrese najradije se vraća na otok Ugljan, u Kukljicu, koja je na neki način postala njezino duhovno utočište.
- Svaka slika može se iščitati na svoj način, ovisno o kutu gledanja i osobi koja je promatra. U pozadini većine ovih slika su ženski portreti koji su odraz nekih mojih stanja, kroz njih ja progovaram pa tako možemo reći i da svaki portret ima elemente autoportreta. Željela sam prikazati emocije, unutarnji svijet, impresije žene u današnjem svijetu, u 21. stoljeću. Ženski svijet gledan iz različitih aspekata. To mi je vrlo važno!, objašnjava slikarica te ističe kako je osim „ženskog pisma“ zanima i suodnos prirode i urbanog te uloga pojedinca u tome.
- Željela bih da usporimo, da promatramo život oko sebe, učimo iz te prirode koja uvijek ima neku dobru priču za nas, poručuje.
Dio ljeta provodi u Hrvatskoj, na otoku Ugljanu, i to radno jer je okruženje iznimno motivira i nadahnjuje.
- Ovdje osjećam dobru energiju, puna sam elana i planova za budućnost tako da ljeto provodim radno, ali to ne osjećam kao muku nego kao opuštanje. Na otoku imam idealne uvjete za rad: nevjerojatnu tišinu i mir. Ovdje mogu nesmetano slušati klasičnu glazbu, posebno operu, šećem šumom, bavim se jogom…, kaže.
Oksana Veber umjetnica je međunarodnog ugleda i značaja, rođena je u Altaju, u Rusiji. Akademiju likovnih umjetnosti završila je u Kijevu. Tijekom razvijanja svoga slikarskog stila, koristila se raznim tehnikama, od akvarela na papiru, tradicionalne tehnike na bazi ulja na platnu, akrila na platnu…
Raspon tema, motiva i stilova Oksane Veber vrlo je širok, od krajobraza do portreta, a uključuje grafički, modni i virtualni dizajn. Poznata je po portretima dame u ekstravangardnim šeširima.
Prije desetak godina Oksana Veber kao članica jedne likovne kolonije došla je prvi put na Ugljan, izlagala je u Kukljici, Preku, Zadru, diljem Europe, u SAD-u... O njezinu radu na otvorenju izložbe govorili su Mladenka Mašina i Venko Mavar.
Nakon Preka, slike s izložbe „Refleksije“ bit će postavljene u galerijama Londonu i Pragu, a u Domu na žalu mogu se razgledati do 21. kolovoza, svaki dan od 20 do 22.30 sati.

Inside look into my art methods, techniques.
Dear visitors,
I have something to tell you today. It will be an inside look into the art methods, techniques, that I use.
I used to paint in all the possible art and non-art materials and also did the huge stain glass projects earlier in the Soviet Era in Ukraine.
My first exhibition abroad in Denmark Copenhagen was all in watercolour on paper technique.
Then while living in the Prague Czech Republic I completely focused on oil-based painting materials.
I used the traditional technique, based on the realism oil painting style, which we have been taught. It was the oil on canvas or card paintings.
Then I started to develop my own technique which is the combination of the pointed etching needles and oil colours on a special durable card. This gives me the great texture of scratched drowning deeply or gently filled with an oil paint which is contrasting to the oil glossy and smooth card structure.
I prefer to use the Rembrandt and St Peterborough oils, which are highly transparent and can be layered after they get dry as many times as I need to create special multilayer finish.
The goal is to get the colour layers to be translucent and shine through.
For the base, before I get to the actual painting, I use a special acrylic ground and number of acrylic texture pastes which I could apply freely by pallet knives in various ways.
I use a lot of the mix of linen oil with varnish and turpentine oil for diluting the oil paint. This mixture allows the paint not dry so quickly and give time to work with it to adjust when necessary. This gives me desired semi covering each other layers of the thin oil paint.
The painting process is never the same, there is always room for improvisation and experiment with non-traditional materials and instruments.
For example, sometimes I use a sandpaper or metal wire brushes to create special effects on the surface of a painting. I used various imprinting effects made by pressure against the painting surface from shapes in wood or plastic, or in broken glass.
Hope this description can provide a brief look into the kitchen of artistic processes.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
I would gladly answer all of them.
Kind regards
Oksana Veber

Unutarnji svijet žena u apstrakcijama ruske slikarice Oksane Veber
Autor: A.L. u Uto, 08/08/2017 - 11:21
PREKO – Oksana Veber, ruska slikarica koja je često progovarala kroz ženske portrete, i na najnovijoj izložbi pod nazivom „Refleksije“ predstavlja se iznimno kolorističnim apstrakcijama u čijoj se pozadini naziru ženski likovi.
Četrdeset i tri slike, ulja i akrilna boja na platnu, nastale u protekle dvije godine na otoku Ugljanu, premijerno je u ponedjeljak navečer izložila u galeriji Dom na žalu u Preku jer je otok, prema vlastitu priznanju, mjesto njezina najvećeg mira, inspiracije i ravnoteže.
Iako izlaže diljem Europe, sa stalne londonske adrese najradije se vraća na otok Ugljan, u Kukljicu, koja je na neki način postala njezino duhovno utočište.
- Svaka slika može se iščitati na svoj način, ovisno o kutu gledanja i osobi koja je promatra. U pozadini većine ovih slika su ženski portreti koji su odraz nekih mojih stanja, kroz njih ja progovaram pa tako možemo reći i da svaki portret ima elemente autoportreta. Željela sam prikazati emocije, unutarnji svijet, impresije žene u današnjem svijetu, u 21. stoljeću. Ženski svijet gledan iz različitih aspekata. To mi je vrlo važno!, objašnjava slikarica te ističe kako je osim „ženskog pisma“ zanima i suodnos prirode i urbanog te uloga pojedinca u tome.
- Željela bih da usporimo, da promatramo život oko sebe, učimo iz te prirode koja uvijek ima neku dobru priču za nas, poručuje.
Dio ljeta provodi u Hrvatskoj, na otoku Ugljanu, i to radno jer je okruženje iznimno motivira i nadahnjuje.
- Ovdje osjećam dobru energiju, puna sam elana i planova za budućnost tako da ljeto provodim radno, ali to ne osjećam kao muku nego kao opuštanje. Na otoku imam idealne uvjete za rad: nevjerojatnu tišinu i mir. Ovdje mogu nesmetano slušati klasičnu glazbu, posebno operu, šećem šumom, bavim se jogom…, kaže.
Oksana Veber umjetnica je međunarodnog ugleda i značaja, rođena je u Altaju, u Rusiji. Akademiju likovnih umjetnosti završila je u Kijevu. Tijekom razvijanja svoga slikarskog stila, koristila se raznim tehnikama, od akvarela na papiru, tradicionalne tehnike na bazi ulja na platnu, akrila na platnu…
Raspon tema, motiva i stilova Oksane Veber vrlo je širok, od krajobraza do portreta, a uključuje grafički, modni i virtualni dizajn. Poznata je po portretima dame u ekstravangardnim šeširima.
Prije desetak godina Oksana Veber kao članica jedne likovne kolonije došla je prvi put na Ugljan, izlagala je u Kukljici, Preku, Zadru, diljem Europe, u SAD-u... O njezinu radu na otvorenju izložbe govorili su Mladenka Mašina i Venko Mavar.
Nakon Preka, slike s izložbe „Refleksije“ bit će postavljene u galerijama Londonu i Pragu, a u Domu na žalu mogu se razgledati do 21. kolovoza, svaki dan od 20 do 22.30 sati.

The Oksana Veber story.
The Oksana Veber story.
The Oksana Veber story.
Oksana Veber is an artist of international reputation and rare distinction. Originally from Barnaul, in the Altaj, above the snow line on the Russian border with Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan, she hails from one of the most politically and geographically isolated corners of the modern world.
Of her childhood she remembers the intense cold, which lasted most of the year. Her grandfather would tunnel through the Siberian snow from the house to reach the street, the stables or the sauna, and she would hollow out ice caves, where she imagined herself as characters from the Tales of Hoffman or Hans Christian Andersen. Summers were spent collecting mushrooms and berries, or feeding the wild 'unicorns' in the forest, as the Siberian Taiga burst into life for a few short weeks before the snow buried the village again.
No sensible person would choose to live in these conditions, and in fact the Vebers are not from Siberia, but from Brandenburg, outside Berlin. During the Russian occupation of Eastern Germany the KGB abducted the entire Veber family to Kosiha in the Siberian Gulag. Oksana's grandparents, Karl and Ida, and Ida's mother Elise, were each sentenced to fourteen years' hard labour, and were released only in 1956 in a regime latterly exposed by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago. Karl and Ida, on their release, settled nearby in the village of Sosnovka, on the River Ob, where, as former political prisoners and as Germans, they were now ostracized by their neighbours, and soon after Karl was sentenced to another 25 years.
Karl never expected to survive, or see Ida again, and indeed had three more children in the Gulag with another political prisoner. Karl and Ida's two sons, Willy and Rudolph, were also born and raised in the Gulag, yet both were very ambitious, and they now moved to Barnaul in pursuit of higher education. Willy later married Praskovia, from Ukraine, and Oksana was born soon after. At the same time Praskovia's father had died in the war and Praskovia's mother also died giving birth to Praskovia, her thirteenth child. Praskovia's brothers and sisters then raised Praskovia and such was their determination to succeed. that this family of children also moved to Siberia, indeed Barnaul, for the educational and cultural opportunities which were now emerging in the region. Thus the two families finally met.
Oksana was a child prodigy, in the Russian tradition, from the beginning. From a specialist art school at the age of 9, she then went to Bryansk Art College at age 14, where she graduated. As a student she was coerced into working for the KGB, who gave her a diploma on account of her uncanny ability to produce accurate portraits from verbal descriptions of persons of interest. On graduation she was immediately admitted into the Artists' Union of Ukraine, where her professional career instantly took off with monumental commissions for public buildings and state and international institutions, which she managed from conception to completion from the age of nineteen.
Oksana's work is wide ranging, from landscape to portrait to still life, and also includes graphic, fashion and stained glass design. Today she sells in 43 jurisdictions, from Shang Hai to Los Angeles, and she is particularly noted for her signature portraits of ladies in extravagant hats, often bare breasted and surrounded by cats, sailing boats, birds and horses, alongside the resident swans of her beloved Prague. Of these many characters which populate her canvases she says:
'….. the ladies feed the cats and the cats protect the ladies, but all my characters seem to symbolize the pursuit of freedom. I saw my parents coerced by the KGB into joining the Communist Party, for fear of losing their jobs, and I experienced the same rampant corruption myself. The veil which separates us from chaos is very thin and threatens to tear at any moment. Some of my artist friends are in jail in Russia today for their opinions, and when I arrived in the UK, in 2007, for my first exhibition here, I was shocked to hear English friends laugh at politicians, the police and the Royal Family in a manner which is completely unthinkable in the former Soviet Union. Only now did I begin to see that real creative freedom of expression was possible....'
Oksana has known hardship and prejudice only too well and it is surely the quest for freedom that we find distilled and concentrated in her canvasses, both in her subject matter and in her paramount painterly technique. This is her unique contribution and importance as an artist, and her work is surely deserving of the widest possible recognition and acknowledgement in this regard. Oksana's work can be viewed at:

Oksana Veber paintings exhibition in Zelena Punta, Ugljan, Croatia.
Oksana Veber paintings exhibition in Zelena Punta, Ugljan, Croatia.
My name is Oksana Veber and I am an artist and painter. I would like to invite you to my exhibition.
I have been exhibiting every year in Croatia since 2005, mostly in Zadar and on Ugljjan, including Ancient Glass Museum and Pucko Otvoreno Uciliste.
I returned this year expecting to paint as usual but was delighted when Alena Havlova
of SARGAS SRO Tourist Agency in Pisek, Czech Republic, who was also staying in Zelena
Punta, asked me to exhibit for her clients. Suddenly we had a lot of work to do, to get the exhibition together, and I would like to thank Zdravko Kvito, General Manager at Zelena Punta, and also the dancer and fellow painter Danny Israel, for their help in putting the exhibition together at very short notice. The opening night of the exhibition was accompanied by beautiful singer Miriam Pelcova and her jazz band from Czech Republic.
The exhibition has proved extremely popular with visitors and you too are very welcome!
We are in the large hall above the Reception at Zelena Punta. The exhibition will be open until 10th of October from 8 am till 9 pm and everyone is very welcome, indeed I would love to meet you. I will be there in person so if you want to meet the artist, come along! I will be delighted to answer any questions you may have about my painting.

Hi; I'm Paul, who you drew at the foreign students life drawing group. Great to see that I appear in six of your life drawing prints for sale. International fame at last. You did an amazing orange painting of me with a wide brush on a large sheet of paper; I wonder if that still survives. Always happy to sit for you again.
Qu'importe le sujet, c'est un très grand plaisir de regarder vos toiles magnifiques, légères, poétiques, fantaisistes......C'est simple, c'est beau, c'est un immense talent. Bonne continuation.
encore bravo pour toute votre œuvre , j’apprécie particulièrement Luba in Muline c'est le titre de votre tableau mais ne sachant pas traduire je reste émerveillé devant les couleurs
