Oleksandra Ricchello

Art is both a language and a meditation. Every brushstroke is a dialogue between intuition and emotion — a quiet attempt to translate the invisible into color, texture, and rhythm. My work reflects my search for harmony between movement and stillness, chaos and balance, sound and silence.

I was born and raised in Ukraine, where I first learned to observe the world through nature — the rhythm of trees, the texture of soil, the changing colors of the sky. Later, my artistic training in Germany gave me structure, discipline, and the technical foundation to express those impressions with intention and precision. Now, living in Switzerland, I continue to explore how place, memory, and feeling can coexist within a single canvas.

Since 2005, I have worked primarily with acrylics, fascinated by their immediacy and physicality. I am drawn to large formats that allow me to move freely — to paint not only with my hands but with my whole body. My paintings are not about depicting reality; they are about capturing presence — the sensation of time slowing down, the texture of silence, the depth of color as emotion.

My most recent project, ASMR Art, is a natural continuation of this philosophy. It combines the visual and auditory experience of painting, allowing viewers to see and hear the creative process. The soft sound of brush strokes, the gentle tapping of the canvas, the whispering rhythm of color — all become part of a meditative space where art transforms into sensory calm.

In a world that moves too fast, I want my work to offer stillness. I want people to look, listen, and feel — to reconnect with the subtle and the slow. Whether on canvas or in sound, my art is an invitation to breathe, to reflect, and to remember that beauty can be quiet.
