What do
I Do?
I Do?
I curate exhibitions, educational programs, creative interdisciplinary laboratories, and any types of special projects in the cultural field.
I educate A LOT, and, oh boy, I'm good at it! Hours and hours of lectures and public talks in front of almost any type of audience you can imagine.
I provide art consulting services and art therapy sessions.

I provide art consulting services and art therapy sessions.
As an art consultant, I work with artists and professionals of different backgrounds to make their art-inspired path smoothier (preferably, mango flavoured). I go along with businesses and NGOs in implementing creative practice and artistic vision in their corporate culture.
Art&science and technology-based art is where I shine. Futures thinking and futures studies is where I find and give hope.
If you need any assistance with curatorial practice and educational program design, I'd be happy to collaborate and share my knowledge
Art consulting
- create together with you the artists’ materials – artist statement, CV, portfolio, professional bio, website
- provide feedback on the ‘artists pack’ that you already have
- curatorial assistance to frame and conceptualise your ideas (I’m happy to jump on the project from its earliest stages to the latest)
- supervision of your artistic career
Art Professionals
- the first aid in the situation ’I wanna be an artist and don’t know where to start’ – I often meet people with this request, and I’d be happy to navigate your journey from the very beginning (no matter what the background is)
- art collection assistance
- individual guidance in your 'getting to know some artsy stuff' journey
- creative community development
Art Lovers & to-be Artists
- art-based learning for business tasks
- creative thinking and conceptual thinking as part of corporate education
- assistance in corporate art collection
- facilitation of creative sessions and corporate programs
Companies
I want all of us to have only those limits which we'd like to have. I want to embrace every living creature (including myself) as they are.
freedom
power of collaboration
I believe that every human being is creative. Sometimes one just needs a right person to navigate through the sea of arts. I'm here to be your guiding star.
creative potential
WHAT I ADVOCATE FOR
Interdisciplinary approach, intercultural understanding, friendly attitude to each other. My superpower is that I can find a way to communicate with different people and help them understand one another.
responsibility
Social responsibility – kindness as an action is necessary, compassion is the new black (and you might notice that I looove black!). Professional responsibility – I'm careful with deadlines and always get things done.
Testimonials
Olga is a beautiful personality, who is able to inspire people. I saw many times how she ignites the sparkle in different (and sometimes not-really-into-arts) people with her passion to art&science, generously sharing her knowledge. I invited Olga as a guest speaker and a facilitator at the corporate programs for leading companies (Nissan, MTS, X5 Group, etc) whenever we needed an 'out of the box' thinking. She is an experienced public speaker, it's always a pleasure to listen to Olga giving a speech in front of the audience with all the stories and jokes interwoven in them.

I know Olga through the Next Generation Foresight Practitioners award. I believe that people who work with futures have similar qualities: open-mind, ability to build bridges, passion, creativity, and critical thinking. Olga possesses all these characteristics in spades.

Olga is an excellent educator. I find it amazing how she’s able to explain complex things about art per se or interconnection between art and science to any type of audience: teenagers, tech guys, and the general public. All of them not only understand Olga’s thoughts and ideas but also visibly enjoy her style and appreciate deep knowledge of the subject. As a person, Olga demonstrates very rare – and very powerful – combination of profound academic professionalism and friendly, open-minded, and joyful attitude towards the world and people. For an educator, this is a blessing.

I could say a lot about Olga as she is indeed an outstanding expert. But there's one thing I'm especially thankful for – it is my artistic website. She influenced a lot the way I communicate myself as an artist, explaining how means of self-presentation help enhance contemporary artist's career. Her advice on building my portfolio was truly useful. As a curator, she is able to inspire artists to do even the boring but necessary part. And one more thing – Olga's sense of humor and optimism are her true superpower.
