ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Olga, Dziemidowicz, a Melbourne-based visual artist.
I paint to honor my inner calling and celebrate the world around us. I love painting as the creative process puts me in flow.
When I paint I'm guided by intuition, creativity, and endless curiosity. I'm inspired by the natural world, people's stories, and my own reflections.
Through the use of bold colours and expressive brushstrokes, I want to express vibrancy, aliveness, positivity & joy, and thought that, inspire gratitude for the world around us.
I'm currently focusing on creating large, expressive, semi-abstract paintings of landscapes to explore the internal worlds, emotions, human consciousness, and our connection to something bigger than ourselves.
