Olga Ovchinnikova
Pop-surrealist oil painter exploring anxiety, optimism, and psychological adaptability
They like you
This work is about the feeling of hidden aggression even when nothing appears openly hostile. It explores the experience of feeling like an outsider — vulnerable and out of place even in a seemingly safe environment. Perhaps they are looking because they like you, but you cannot believe it. You feel that you do not belong to their world, yet you remain there, functioning despite the discomfort.
Hold on
This work explores the human capacity to endure difficult moments. Barbie becomes a symbol of resilience and optimism: a world can collapse after a single decision, yet morning still comes. You gather your strength and continue, even when you were certain you could not.
