Embrace Print

“Art is a synchronizer of feelings; however, it rarely works precisely.” Born in Crimea and immigrated to Czech Republic. Olga has majored in graphical design. She has also practiced commercial illustration for a while. Nevertheless, lately she has become fascinated by pictorial art. “I apply the paint on canvas and it fits perfectly, and I rejoice in the process. I find the color inspiring and the search for the right composition soothing. At the moment I am feeling this is exactly where I belong. When working I contemplate about emotional freedom and explore the self-acceptance. I call on the viewer to base one’s judgement exclusively on one’s own perception, to listen to oneself and to discover the world around by one’s own feelings and senses. This may boost the interpretation and inner analysis when collaborating with pictorial art.” Graphical design education has had a deep impact on her visual language, her art is bright, full of contrast and dynamics, it aims at catching the viewer’s attention. However, it was her working experience as an illustrator that has helped to form the most cautious approach towards each piece of art. Olga constructs the composition out of spontaneous emotional decisions, complementing them with well-balanced obligatory tools. She freely dives in creating the canvas to reflect her inner experiences. “It reminds me of life as I see it, and for me it is a sequence of chances, impulses, but also carefully pre-planned decisions. I believe that everyone has the choice. I believe in fate, nonetheless I am convinced that there is a chance to change it. Every time I choose the tint or move the brush, I make my decision. And I base it on my emotions and experience. My emotions inspire me and show the way for my paintings.” Olga’s art is comprised of many layers, she enjoys creating the texture with the help of sand and mediums to achieve a bigger volume and a deeper expressiveness in her pieces. Besides, Olga is always willing to experiment and discover new techniques. She dives in the process, since the moment of creation as well as the result are both equally important to her. “For me painting is essential, I have always painted and I do not know how NOT to paint. What thrills me about the process? I guess, I just like to leave my prints, that’s true. I watch my 3-year-old daughter painting and that seems so easy. She just finds the ways to express herself.
