Olga Afanasiadi is a modern experimental artist. Olga was born in 1988 in Russia. Lives and works in Greece. My paintings are in private collections in Russia, Spain, Greece and America.
“For over 6 years now, i have been imbibing Spanish-speaking culture and this greatly influences my creative expression.
My art is at the intersection of primitivism, street art and verbal symbols. I myself define my works as a play of visual and verbal symbols, and I use them in order to convey to the viewer the sensations and atmosphere of everyday life, permeated with the culture of Spain and sometimes Latin America.
I consider my other works as reflections on the theme of "metaphysics of being." They are about how to stop and feel the magic of the moment.

Sometimes I use repeating symbols, but each time they discover a new meaning or complement some new statement.
I like the idea of drawing my inspiration from the streets of Barcelona - this is an amazing city, “la ciudad de las maravillas”; it has a unique energy, creativity, freedom and a lot of what I try to convey in my works.”
