By the time she was just 16, Olga Novokhatska was already certain of the path she wanted to follow, deciding to enroll in a specialized high school and then in the State Academy of Design and Fine Arts. On completion of her studies, she moved to France in 2008 and graduated from the Ecole Supérieure d'Art de Lorraine.
Since then, the artist has pursued her career in France. The viewer may be tempted to see in her work a certain form of nostalgia, to recognize someone in it, or to find in it a place, a situation, a context.

Olga, do you have a creative routine?
I do have a routine, actually. In fact, I have several.
My daily work routine. Since I'm a full-time artist, I start by coming to my studio around
I always start slowly because I'm not super productive in the morning, I really start to be
around 5 p.m. and then I work really well until 9 p.m. in the evening.
I do a lot of figurative, a little abstract, always with oil paint, which represents a certain number
of constraints. In other words, sometimes, when I need to do details, I have to wait for the previous
layers to dry, I have to wait for the previous layers to dry, so I work on 3 or 4 canvases in parallel.
Do you think the art world looks at women differently?
I think so, even if I haven't felt it myself in my life as an artist.
Why is that?
First of all, they say it's a “woman artist”, but they don't say it's a “man artist.
It seems odd to me.

If you could share a dinner with any artist (dead or alive),
who would it be and why?
I'd love Rembrandt, because I think he's one of the greatest artists ever.
Do you have a superpower?
Yes, I have a superpower, which is to work well under pressure.
Do you have any advice for the “you” of the past who has taken up painting?
Yes, it's to study for less time and get into the professional world sooner.
A quote you like to end with?
Yes, it's a bit of a common thread running through my work. Matisse who said “I'd like to make paintings
in front of which a stressed and tired man finds peace and serenity”.
That's what I'm looking for in my work.
