Olga Romannikova

Selected Works
Contemporary painting and graphic art exploring loneliness, identity and the relationship between the human body and its environment.
-
A figure caught between presence and absence. The work explores alienation and the psychological distance between the individual and the surrounding world.
-
The body appears as a stable image of personality, while its transformation reveals the darker side of identity. The work explores the tension between the recognizable human form and an inner state that remains unfamiliar.
-
The work addresses the feeling of an inner split. Two profiles are perceived as two states of one person — the visible and the hidden, the external and the internal. It is an image of the impossibility of fully connecting even with oneself.
-
Space transforms into a living structure in which the human figure becomes part of a complex system of connections.
-
Plant, anatomical and aquatic forms merge into a single organism. What appears before the viewer is not an ordinary garden, but a hidden living world existing beyond the limits of habitual perception. The work brings the human body and the natural environment into a shared state, exploring their interpenetration.
-
A living creature is placed on a pedestal as an object of observation. The situation remains deliberately ambiguous: who is observing, and who has become the object of study? The figure exists somewhere between living organism, specimen and symbol, questioning the boundary between subject and object.
BETWEEN HUMAN AND LIVING WORLD
The series explores the fragile boundary between the human being and the living world. Through the transformation of the human body, Olga Romannikova examines identity, loneliness and alienation, revealing the complex relationship between inner experience and the surrounding environment.
The human figure becomes a changing form, shaped by contact with other forms of life. The boundary between the human and the non-human grows uncertain, inviting the viewer to reconsider what it means to be human and where human identity begins and ends.
