Olha Kotlamina

I came to art consciously, bringing with me the experience, knowledge, and perspective gathered throughout my life. After more than twenty years in technology and operations, I realized that everything I had lived through had become part of my artistic language.

My work explores memory, light, belonging, and resilience. Through oil and acrylic painting, I reflect on the emotions, places, and moments that shape us, seeking what remains when familiar structures disappear.

Today, painting allows me to transform personal experience into a visual language that invites reflection, connection, and recognition.
