Poetic Narratives in Oil and Charcoal
Representing a distinctive voice in contemporary Australian art, Olga Bakhtina is a Brisbane-based artist known for her evocative oil and charcoal compositions that weave together classical inspiration and modern storytelling. Her work is marked by deep historical consciousness, delicate symbolism, and an unmistakable emotional resonance.
Born in Russia and artistically shaped across three continents, Olga’s creative journey began over 15 years ago at an art school in the Sultanate of Oman, where she lived with her family for four years. Upon returning to Australia, she studied under Archibald Prize winner David Paulson, further refining her technique and expression. In 2024, she completed her academic journey with a degree in Art History from the University of Queensland, deepening her engagement with Early Renaissance art, which remains a profound source of serenity and inspiration in her practice.
Olga is a multiple Australian award-winner, including the COSSAG Art Prize (2016, 2018), and accolades at the Royal Queensland Art Society for Naked Truth and Modernism (2021).
Her paintings are held in significant public and private collections, including:
The Archdiocese of Brisbane
Australian Catholic University
Rosebank College (NSW)
St Anselm Abbey, New Hampshire, USA
Numerous private collections in Australia and abroad
Olga’s works have been featured in international publications such as The Double: Identity and Difference in Art since 1900 by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and educational materials by Cengage Learning Australia, etc.
In 2022, the Archdiocese of Brisbane’s “Art Aficionados” video series featured a special analysis of Olga’s work The Good Samaritan, presented by Archbishop Mark Coleridge, Dr Maeve Louise Heaney, and Rev Dr Tom Elich. You can Art Aficionados Episode 3 on YouTube.
