Painter & Printmaker

Olga’s artwork explores the relationship between memory, emotion, and everyday life. She is drawn to the moments, places, and impressions that stay with us—familiar surroundings, joyful encounters, childhood memories, and the simple pleasures that can easily go unnoticed.

Working across painting and printmaking, she uses colour, texture, and expressive mark-making intuitively, allowing the process itself to shape the work. Rather than simply describing a subject, she seeks to capture how a place, moment, or memory feels. Colour plays a central role in her practice, with its ability to evoke emotion, shift mood, and transform the familiar into something unexpected.

Her work develops through experimentation and spontaneity. She embraces the unpredictable qualities of paint and printmaking, allowing layers, marks, textures, and chance elements to remain visible. The resulting pieces are playful and expressive, while retaining a connection to the experiences and places that inspired them.

Estonian-born and London-based, Olga lives in Finchley with her husband and their two daughters. Her busy London life and the world around her provide a constant source of inspiration. Living in London—a fascinating and vibrant city that is intense, constantly changing, and never quite still—continues to shape her way of seeing.

Olga began developing her artistic practice through art courses at Art Stables in 2020. Since then, there’s been a lot of experimenting—and plenty of paint on her hands.

Ultimately, her work is about creating a sense of joy and connection: inviting the viewer to pause, look closely, and perhaps recognise something of their own memories and experiences within it.
