Olga Volodina ART
BIO
Olga Volodina is an artist, photographer, performance artist, activist, author of many social and art projects that have been presented at exhibitions in Asia and Europe.
Olga was born in Uzbekistan. At the age of 5, her parents moved her to Russia, where she studied at the Faculty of Journalism. Due to the unpleasant political situation in Russia, in 2007-8 she moved to Thailand, where she lived and worked for more than 10 years. Olga currently lives in Bulgaria.
Her photography projects are always very personal and sincere and intend to evoke an emotional connection within the viewer.
For Olga Volodina photography is an exploration of how the camera translates her feelings, thoughts and attitudes. A human is always the main source of inspiration for Olga.
Her controversial inner world comes to life conveying a message within a single frame, leading to strong compositions and thoughtful lighting decisions.
