Statement :

Olga’s work focuses on storytelling, and provokes independent thinking. Inspired by the symbolism of Old Masters, she developed a unique pictorial language. Olga sources her images from printed contemporary advertisements, focusing on images rooted in consumer-facing objects and branded identities. She consciously manipulates these images through collage, thereby detaching them from their stereotypical associations. The viewer is able to then view the holistic image through a personal lens, imbuing meaning into the work that is distinctly their own.
