Selected Graphic Works

A selection of graphic works exploring identity, inner conflict and the complex relationship between the human body and the surrounding world.

ANATOMY OF A ROLE
-

The human figure is presented as a combination of images, gestures and states. A face assembled from multiple identities becomes a metaphor for the roles a person assumes in society. Fragments of the body, masks and geometric elements form a single construction, exploring the complexity of identity, inner fragmentation and the tension between the authentic self and the image created for the outside world

THE HUMAN THEATRE
-

The world resembles a stage on which everyone plays a role. Objects, figures and space become part of this performance. A person both participates in what is happening and observes it from the outside.

BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
-

In this work, human figures merge with plant and organic forms. Two worlds meet in a single space, gradually losing their clear boundaries. The work captures a moment when our familiar understanding of the human and the natural world begins to change.

THE TRANSITION
-

At the centre of the work is a form that changes, as if moving beyond its own limits. The previous state gradually gives way to a new one. It is a moment of change in which a return to what existed before is no longer possible, while the future remains undefined.

LIVING TISSUE
-

Different forms intertwine and become part of a whole. Branches, roots and shapes resembling parts of the human body connect the human figure with the surrounding world. Nature is not merely a background here; it is part of the same web of relationships as everything else.

THE MULTIPLE GAZE
-

The human face gradually merges with plant-like and organic forms. Several eyes suggest different ways of seeing and understanding the world. The person seems to look at themselves from the outside and discovers that their sense of self is not as simple as it once seemed.

THE HUMAN FIGURE: IDENTITY, ROLE AND TRANSFORMATION


The graphic series explores the complexity of human identity, the roles people assume and the boundaries between the inner self and the outside world.

Through fragmented images, layered forms and symbolic transformations, Olga Romannikova examines the tension between individuality and social expectations, between self-perception and the gaze of others. The human figure appears as a changing structure, shaped by experience, interaction and the surrounding environment.

Each work approaches this subject from a different perspective, revealing the instability of identity and the multiple dimensions of human existence.
