Artist Olga Ozerskaya’s vibrant Works Are A Welcome Escape from COVID 19

When Olga Ozerskaya creates, her primary focus is on storytelling. she does not impose the story of her works on the viewer. Rather, her images are collages comprised of printed contemporary advertisements that allow the viewer to draw their own conclusions about their meaning. Much of the time, her work is rooted in consumer branding and has a pop art quality similar to that of Andy Warhol or Roy Lichtenstein. It can be differentiated though by its mixed-medium, a truly unique approach made from digital animation and printed illustration.

Ozerskaya’s works are represented by visioner.art gallery which focuses on original works and editions by iconic blue chip names and emerging talents. A good representation of her works can be found on the gallery website (www.visioner.net) or on Artsy (www.artsy.net/visioner).

Olga’s works are refreshing especially during the COVID-19 pandemic as one can almost get lost in the brightness and jovial nature of her depictions despite these bleak times.



“I want people to feel recharged after viewing my work from the series I created during COVID. I’m a colorist by nature. That’s where I source my energy for the work. I often choose to incorporate bright colors, but I wanted people to be inspired in this difficult time to use art as a tool to bring them joy. From my perspective, what else can I do to give back?  I would like my art to be a contribution,” says Ozerskaya.

Ozerskaya’s art has a whimsical quality, and it is clear she is hyper-focused on feminine beauty and imagery. She is clearly a feminist who is able to depict the strength yet beauty of women in their natural form.

“While the idea of portraying women archetypes came before COVID, I continued to create these works during quarantine. They are important now because we’ve all had to go within our inner world during this time and understand our own personal spirit and who we are as individuals,” she adds.

Together with Visioner.Art, Olga conducted her first online solo exhibition. Her women archetypes series of works were part of the exhibition “The flower girls.” The series examines women archetypes that prevail in contemporary society. Archetypes are models based on patterns and images that represent tendencies in us, which were first introduced by Carl Jung as a way to understand how our psyche contributes to our behavior.

“My new series on women archetypes was inspired by legendary feminist artists Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago, and Tracey Emin. Each art work is a visual code – flower and text describing a certain women archetype. Every human has their own set of these codes. The key to self-acceptance is to understand them,” says Ozerskaya. 

Her work Wish you were here, made from acrylic print on canvas, is a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the pandemic and even many of the morbid advertisements we see today. Another piece in the series, You are my heaven, is also playful and upbeat. The white orchids in the digital collage have a photographic quality and are so abundant that it makes the viewer want to lay down in them. The lettering in this series resembles the hype wear brand Supreme, and the words have the appearance of floating. 

Ozerskaya also has not stopped creating during COVID-19. Like her upbeat work, she continues to have a positive perspective and mindset on her future. As a result, she will be featured in Visioner.Art Gallery’s exhibit “From Warhol to Quinn with Everything in Between.” The exhib it will be showcased in this year’s first ever Hampton’s Virtual Art Fair (HVAF) where Olga’s work will be presented together with iconic blue-chip names like Andy Warhol, Eric Fischl, Nathaniel Mary Quinn among others and can be viewed at https://www.hamptonsvirtualartfair.com/visioner-art/
