Sestra Kuya is the multidisciplinary duo of Olga Panchenko and Gerry Gonzales, whose collaborative practice connects spirit, science, and art. Together, they are pioneering a new medium of art that transforms fluctuating electrical voltage into both painting and sound.
In 2025, they invented and engineered a custom process in which raw electricity, applied through a brush to titanium sheets, generates shifting colors while the same current is routed into modular synthesis. The result is a simultaneous act of visual and sonic creation, which was once hidden, but is now revealed expressing the fusion of energy, matter, and perception.
Drawing from Panchenko’s background as a classical pianist and a painter and Gonzales’s practice as a sound artist, music producer and a dj, Sestra Kuya bridges the material and the immaterial. Their work speaks to electricity as a living force: unpredictable, sensitive, and unique in every moment. Each performance is both an experiment and a ritual, co-created with the energy of life itself.
Sestra Kuya has presented their work in contexts spanning galleries, museums, and experimental music venues, situating their practice within broader dialogues on innovation, technology, and the metaphysics of art. Their mission is to offer audiences a direct encounter with energy - to make it visible, audible, and profoundly felt.
