Woodpecker (2022) Photography by Olga Strogonova

Olga Strogonova is a native of Latvia, and learned to draw since early childhood. She graduated from the local Art school.
Olga prefers different art materials and mediums, depending on her mood and purposes. She believes that creativity helps to overcome many of life's obstacles.
Her creativity has been influenced by her personal development, self-acceptance, allowing herself to create an understanding that a process of creation should be free, it exists where there is the freedom to express yourself as a person. Olga had experienced many personal transformations. She is convinced that there are no strict rules in art and self-expression is the primary goal. Gradually, abstract art became her favorite genre.
In Olga’s opinion, art is a therapy that helps concentrate on your subconscious and become conscious, manifesting yourself through the lens of a camera or paints and paper. The process of creating a picture is a way of filling the resource with life and giving energy to the world at the same time, a feeling of the infinity of life. This is a way to return to yourself. It is solitude and a sense of the present moment, which is so lacking in the contemporary world.
