Olena Linse is a Swiss artist with Ukrainian roots, born in Dubno, Ukraine, in 1978 and based in Zurich. She studied urban planning at the Technical University of Rivne while pursuing artistic training from an early age. Since 2010 she has worked as an independent artist, developing a visual language shaped by her experience between Eastern and Western Europe.
Working primarily in oil, Linse moves between figuration and abstraction. Warm oranges, copper, reds, and browns meet black, white, and grey, while dots, circles, cellular structures, and ornamental patterns fragment and reconstruct the human figure. The female body becomes a psychological and symbolic landscape – a site of memory, vulnerability, strength, identity, and self-determination. Her work challenges passive representations of femininity and approaches the body from a distinctly female perspective.
Mainly through cooperation with Pashmin Art, Linse has exhibited internationally in China, Europe, and the United States, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Beijing, Dounan Art Museum in Kunming, Hong Art Museum in Chongqing, Rothko Museum, SCOPE New York, and Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. In 2025, Pashmin Art Publisher released the bilingual monograph “Olena Linse – Labyrinth”, accompanied by a solo exhibition and book launch in Hamburg.
奥莱娜·林塞（Olena Linse）是一位具有乌克兰血统的瑞士艺术家，1978年出生于乌克兰杜布诺，现居苏黎世。她曾在里夫内理工大学学习城市规划，同时自幼便接受艺术训练。自2010年起，她作为独立艺术家开展创作，形成了一种受其东西欧双重经历影响的视觉语言。
林塞主要使用油画创作，其作品游走于具象与抽象之间。温暖的橙色、铜色、红色和棕色与黑色、白色和灰色交融，而点、圆、细胞结构及装饰性图案则将人体形象碎片化并重新构建。女性身体成为一种心理与象征性的景观——承载着记忆、脆弱、力量、身份认同与自主权的场所。她的作品挑战了对女性气质的被动呈现，并从鲜明的女性视角审视身体。
林塞主要通过与帕什明艺术（Pashmin Art）的合作，在中国、欧洲和美国举办了国际展览，展馆包括北京当代艺术博物馆、昆明东南美术馆、重庆洪美术馆、罗斯科美术馆、纽约SCOPE艺术博览会以及巴黎卢浮宫旋转木马画廊。2025年，帕什明艺术出版社（Pashmin Art Publisher）出版了双语专著《奥莱娜·林塞——迷宫》（Olena Linse – Labyrinth），并于汉堡举办了个人展览及新书发布会。
