Hanna-Oksana Lypa (Ukrainian: Ганна-Оксана Ярославівна Липа; born 18 July 1958) is a Ukrainian decorative and applied arts artist. Merited Painter of Ukraine (2012). Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine (1990).

Biography

Hanna-Oksana Lypa was born on 18 July 1958, in Verkhnii Luzhok in the Lviv Oblast.

In 1982, she graduated from the Lviv Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts (specialty teachers Mykhailo Hladkyi, Dmytro Krvavych, Ivan Tomchuk, Ivan Frank). Since then, she has worked in Lviv, including as a design artist at the Institute of Materials from 1982–1989, and at the Experimental Ceramic and Sculptural Factory from 1984–2007. From 2002–2005, she headed the ceramics section of the Lviv organization of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.

Creativity

From 1986, she has been exhibiting her works at all-Ukrainian and international exhibitions and plein airs. Solo exhibitions have been held in Lviv (1989–1990, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007–2009, 2013,[1] 2018[2]), Kraków (1996), and Kyiv (2001–2002, 2012–2013, 2015).

In her works, the artist deeply reflects on the meaning of life, drawing inspiration from ancient sources and world cultural heritage. She often imbues her creations with majestic forms and reinterprets symbols and images, combining them with various art forms.

The artist's oeuvre includes decorative plates, reliefs, plaques, vases, tea and coffee sets (over 100 different types of products launched into mass production), jugs, planters, monumental decorative panels that clearly reflect national traditions in their forms and patterns, and garden and park compositions, for which stoneware, porcelain, faience, pottery clay, and chamotte are used; also batiks, installations, and painted compositions. She decorates both interiors and exteriors. Individual works are preserved in the collections of the National Museum-Preserve of Ukrainian Pottery in Opishnia, the Borys Voznytsky Lviv National Art Gallery, and the Institute of Banking, the Museum of Ceramics (Bolesławiec, Poland); and in private collections in Ukraine, Germany, the USA, Austria, Azerbaijan, Poland, and Turkey.[3]
