I like to paint emotions and mood through my art, which truly connect with the other people”.
Olga’s work truly reflected her own vision of the form, conceptualization of the beauty of the world. Her painting is a form of expression that allows bearing her soul in visual language. This requires courage, honesty and determination.
Her ability to reach a harmonic balance of colour and form make us work at understanding and interpreting our own personal response.
