Young Artist Window

Olga Antonova

Olga Antonova was born in 1988. She lived and worked for a long time in Kyiv. From 2016 till 2018 was a part of an art collective Art-Group Light. Since 2018 she is focusing on her personal artistic practice.

Olga was a nominee at Koschatzky Art-Award 2021.

Currently she is doing a Master degree in Fine Arts at Zurich University of the Arts (graduating in 2022).
Olga works with the following mediums: graphics on paper, paintings, sculptures, digital graphics and text. But drawing is her primary medium. The main topic she is exploring now is loneliness, as a complex structure that consists of different feelings and emotions. She is using forms, lines, colours, their interconnectedness, relations, interactions, movements, as a metaphor for feelings, situations and for not understanding. She uses classical mediums and tries to build the bridge between formal discourse of those mediums and the feelings of loneliness and fragility.
