Biography

Oksana Kovalenko is a Ukrainian artist who found her creative voice through an unexpected path. After years as a pastry chef — a craft built on precision, texture, and the intimacy of touch — a war injury left her unable to work with her hands the way she once did.

Rather than silence, she discovered a new language. Using AI as a bridge between vision and creation, Oksana translates vivid memories, emotions, and imagery into watercolor-inspired artworks — describing what she sees in her mind and guiding the machine to render it on screen.

Her work lives at the intersection of human memory and artificial intelligence — each piece a collaboration between lived experience and algorithmic interpretation. She calls herself a prompt-poet: someone who paints not with brushes, but with words.
