Olena Samsoniuk
Elena Samsonyuk has always been curious and determined. In her hometown of Kharkiv, she passionately worked as a seamstress, creating unique outfits with special inspiration. However, in 2022, when the war in Ukraine led to increased violence and instability, Elena decided to seek safety and a better life outside her homeland.
Upon arriving in Germany, Elena decided to start afresh. She joined a German language course to expand her communication abilities with the people around her. Following her interest in the pastry arts, she found a job at a local pastry factory. Her persistence and commitment to excellence helped her quickly acquire new skills and become a valuable member of the team.
However, beyond her profession and new life, Elena had always dreamed of trying her hand at the art of painting. It was her secret passion that she had never dared to explore before her move. In Germany, she decided that the time had come to pursue her dream. She joined a painting course and began exploring her creative abilities. Here, Elena discovered new possibilities and talents within herself. Her current paintings are vibrant and positive works of art that reflect her joy and inspiration for life. She savors every moment spent behind the canvas, creating pieces that convey energy and optimism.
"In a world where hope becomes fuel for survival, art can be a saving thread that guides us through the most challenging times," says Elena. "I am grateful to Germany for opening doors to new opportunities for me."
Her story is a reminder of the strength and willpower to achieve one's dreams, and her vivid paintings become a source of inspiration for anyone who sees them.
