Elzara Oiseau


(Ukrainian, b. 1989. Lives and works in Zurich)

Elzara Oiseau is a Ukrainian contemporary artist of Crimean Tatar heritage. She earned her degree from the Faculty of Arts at the Crimean State Engineering Pedagogical University in Simferopol. Following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, she moved to Kyiv and later to Irpin. When Russia invaded Ukraine in April 2022, Elzara fled to Zurich, bringing a collection of her paintings, which she later exhibited in Switzerland.

Since moving to Switzerland, Elzara has held several solo exhibitions in Zurich and participated in multiple group shows. Notable projects include a 12-meter painting titled Fragility, a collaboration with Swiss visual artist Nathalie Diserens, a wall painting project called Mother.Land, and a collaboration with Zurich-based musician Nik Bärtsch.
