OLGA DZIEMIDOWICZ
I am a Melbourne-based artist exploring themes of connection, belonging, and identity through painting. My practice spans portraiture, landscape, and figurative work, with a growing focus on the human figure following a recent residency at the New York Academy of Art.
Alongside my studio work, I create live event paintings and collaborative artworks that bring creativity into public spaces, inviting people to engage directly with the artistic process and share in moments of connection.
