Olga Strogonova

Born: 1981

Hometown: Riga

Based in: Riga

Olga Strogonova is a native of Latvia, East Europe, and learned to draw since early childhood. She graduated from the local Art school.
She rediscovered her love for visual art in 2006 while finishing her studies and from there began painting. Her pursuit of art continues apace today. Olga prefers oil or watercolor, depending on her mood and purpose. 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.
