Biography

Olesia is a contemporary figurative painter. Her practice explores the human body as a vessel of inner states — concentration, tension, balance, and silence.

In her recent works, sport appears not as competition but as a form of presence and discipline. Through precise attention to anatomy, carefully structured compositions, and a restrained color palette, Olesia transforms physical gesture into a metaphor for psychological experience.

Her paintings are characterized by a clear visual language and a sense of quiet intensity.

Olesia’s works are held in private collections across Russia, Israel, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Serbia.
