Olga Hilgers (b. Ukraine) is a Berlin-based artist whose practice emerges at the intersection of cultural memory, resilience, and transformation. Born into a nation repeatedly overtaken by invaders, she carries within her the Ukrainian legacy of survival through flexibility, adaptability, and radical human empathy.

After a decade in international corporate structures in China and Germany and completing her MBA in Berlin and Cambridge, Hilgers shifted her trajectory toward art as a deeper search for meaning. Over the last ten years, she has developed a multilayered practice that investigates connections across people, histories, and geographies—working with line as a symbolic thread binding fragments of lived experience into a larger continuum.

Her artistic breakthrough crystallized upon her arrival in Mexico, where she encountered striking parallels between Ukrainian and Mexican sensibilities: cultures marked by historical trauma yet profoundly generous, inventive, and spiritually alive. This resonance between two geographies became central to her work, positioning art as a connective tissue between survival and transformation, memory and future, fragility and strength.

Hilgers’ work embodies a visual language of layering and connection, reflecting her belief that art is not merely representation but a portal—linking diverse human realities into a shared, universal narrative.
