Olesia Zippelt

Born in 1976 in Monchegorsk, Russia
Lives and works in Belgrade, Serbia

Graduated from the Ilya Repin St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, Olesia Zyppelt approaches the human figure with surgical precision and emotional clarity. Her recent Sports Series captures athletes not in motion, but in the split second before it — moments of pure potential energy, monumental and silent.
Inspired by the legacy of Diego Rivera and Soviet-era masters like Alexander Deineka and Rodchenko, Zyppelt blends graphic directness with painterly control. Vivid color fields meet monochrome restraint, evoking the aesthetics of 20th-century social realism — yet her gaze is deeply contemporary, personal, and meditative.
There’s an architectural stillness in her compositions, yet the tension hums beneath the surface — a fragile balance between cosmic vastness and human vulnerability.
Her work is also represented online via DEL’ARTE Gallery, where her visual language continues to reach an international audience.

Artist Statement

My artworks are the result of an intentional fusion of an academic approach to oil painting with the graphic precision of architectural sketches. I use this combination to reveal motion within the stillness of human figures — a vital tool for exploring balance between opposing states.

My academic background in both fine art and architecture gives me a particular strength in creating compositions that balance the infinite vastness of space with the intimacy of the human body. This artistic inquiry into humanity’s place in the world drives me to seek solutions that are both precise and meaningful.

My art deliberately diverges from the mainstream. It allows me to express my vision freely, without overcomplicating ideas through excessive means. I want viewers to engage with the cosmos in an accessible way — to feel gravity with their eyes alone.
We are all seeking equilibrium, both literal and metaphorical. My paintings embody this state — fragile, unstable, yet deeply desired.

Enelyne Brader-Frank

Born 1970, Switzerland
Lives and works between Switzerland and Canada

Evelyne Brader-Frank is a contemporary Swiss sculptor known for her minimalist yet sensual interpretations of the human form. Working primarily with marble, bronze, steel, and soapstone, she creates graceful female silhouettes that oscillate between abstraction and figuration.
Her sculptural language draws from classical and mythological archetypes, celebrating strength, elegance, and emotional depth.

Trained in both Switzerland and Canada, Brader-Frank has exhibited internationally for over 25 years. Her works are held in numerous private and public collections, including the Medici Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Her 2023 homage to Joan Miró in Majorca, presented by Gallery RED, exemplified her ability to connect personal vision with artistic legacy, blending Mediterranean sensuality with formal precision.
In 2024–2025, her sculpture The Hug is on view at the DIFC Sculpture Park in Dubai.

Each of her pieces invites an intimate encounter with material, light, and presence. Brader-Frank lives and works between Widen, Switzerland, and Canada.
