Olia is an illustrator and designer based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Her work is focused on topics such as social inequality, kitsch visual culture of post-socialist countries, and mental health. Olia had graduated from the books graphics course in The Department of Printing and Publishing of Kyiv Polytechnic University. Since then key areas of interest have been self-publishing and zines. Since 2018 Olia has been a part of an independent web-zine about art in Ukraine “Vono”: a cross-section between printed paper and web-zine. Moreover, Olia is interested in crafts (embroidery and crochet) as a medium from the feminist perspective. Her illustrations are sometimes like a glittering masquerade, sometimes a poorly drawn children's comics book, with a slight touch of irony.
