Olga Volodina ART
BIO
Olga Volodina is an artist, photographer, performance artist, activist, and author of numerous social and art projects 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.
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, intended to evoke an emotional connection in 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.
