She has always been intrigued by perception, imagination, time and illusion. Her artistic approach can be characterized as poetic conceptualism, grounded in ideas but flavored with poetry. Before turning to photographic art Olga obtained her master’s and PhD degrees in History and specialized in Renaissance culture. She believes that a historian’s training in focusing on the hazy texture of remote time while being rooted in the present moment helps her reflect on the borders of everyday perception. Her photography is about the hidden side of everyday life – the symbols, meanings and illusive worlds discovered and constructed through reflection and imagination.
