Olga Niekrasova is an award-winning Ukrainian director, screenwriter, and visual artist whose work unfolds across film, photography, poetry, and mixed media.

Her practice is rooted in experimentation, dissolving the boundaries between disciplines to create hybrid forms that exist somewhere between cinema, installation, and performance. By merging the visual and the auditory, the lyrical and the social, she opens new spaces for reflection on the intersections of trauma, resilience, and human connection.

Olga Niekrasova’s films and projects have been showcased internationally across Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom, appearing not only in cinemas but also in art galleries, cultural forums, and political institutions. Her practice demonstrates remarkable versatility, engaging with artistic, civic, and public spaces while maintaining both aesthetic urgency and social impact.

With a style that is experimental yet deeply human, lyrical yet unflinching, Olga Niekrasova transforms personal and collective memory into immersive experiences that blur the lines between the visible and the unseen. Her use of layered media and fragmented narratives creates a sensorial language that unsettles conventions of storytelling, leading audiences into a cinematic and emotional journey that lingers long after the encounter.
