The Celebration (2023) Malerei von Olga Sidorenko

Olga Sidorenko (1986, Taganrog, Russia), visual artist and artivist, lives and works in Brussels. She studied Art and Graphic Design in Russia and got her BA at the Kuban State University (Krasnodar 2003-2009).
As a queer person and activist, she started her way in art as an artivist fighting against Russian anti-LGBTQI+ policies and propaganda.
She was selected by the human rights project “International Live Rainbow Museum” for the exhibitions in Stockholm and Riga (2013). Her artwork was chosen for the charity auction “Art For Peace. Latvia for Ukraine” (2015) curated by the Ukrainian Embassy in Latvia. She was presented in the project “Pandemic Self Portraits” curated by Adrienne DeLoe for the exhibition in Green Wave Gallery in Denver, Colorado (2020), and for printing in the Pandemic Self Portraits book.
Her works were exhibited in Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Czeсhia, Ukraine, Canada and the USA. Her first solo exhibition in Brussels took place as a part of the Q.ArtzFestival (2021) during the Belgium Brussels Pride week.

Her impressional values-based work is the result of a deep exploration of the connection between nature, traditions and modern human beings. The individual emotional experience, personal reality perception and the beauty of uniqueness
are the sources of inspiration for her work of art.
