Olga Kovalenko

I'm a full-time artist. My education is based on a designer degree. I have been doing art since childhood. Creativity has always been a part of my personality. It’s much easier for me to show the inner world by fine art than to explain something using words. I paint because I can't without that.
My art is most of all about people, about how people around give us emotions. Faces and bodies tell us their own story. My portraits are sometimes abstract, sometimes mysterious.
I'm passionate in using more bold and vivid colors to create them. I try to find the balance between the exact form and abstract elements in palette knife textures, lines, and layers. Here I feel freedom and fullness of self-expression. I love to touch my painting texture. Abstract elements add dynamics and a sense of the impermanence of form, the impermanence of our life.
In my work I research the theme of self-identification, the issue of finding or loss of personality, I explore the illusion of the self as distinct from the world, and the dissolution and evaporation of being.
