White Rooster (2021) Painting by Olga Bezlepkina

In my practice, I see urban spaces and landscapes as carriers of meaning. I observe the environment around me — the places where I live, where I walk every day. It’s important for me to feel a connection with the place and its atmosphere. I believe that by paying attention to details — graffiti on a wall, shadows, litter, grass breaking through concrete — we can learn a lot about ourselves and the time we live in.

I’m especially drawn to places and buildings that have lost their function or original purpose. In this transitional state, they seem to exist somewhere between life and death — or perhaps between one life and another. I notice how they continue to live: altered by time, nature, and human presence. It might be an old factory, a workshop, or a house someone once left behind.

I look at them as living beings — with history, scars, and traces. My works form a visual diary where I record the states of these objects during their transformation.

My art is a way to ask, to remember, and to stay connected with what surrounds us — even if it seems insignificant.
