Olga Chama is a contemporary abstract artist.
The source of her work is from unconscious mind.
The process is spontaneous but there is a consistency in the work in that it’s composed of layers of strokes and unpredictable movements, also known as uncountious paint where the artist suppresses conscious control over the making process, allowing the unconscious mind to have the power over it.
That is where the uniqueness comes from. During that stage of mind the strokes move and they carry energy of “the psyche”.
She is known for her environmentally friendly art. She paints with oil, acrylic and mixed media on canvas and on styrofoam and others degradeble materials and using a brush, sometimes unplanned sources such as her hands, chopsticks, syringes and other unorthodox tools. She follows the directions inside or what passes through her.
Her art seeks to ignite emotions, to find “Aha” moments, to open up a deeper connection with your own “inner child”.
She believes, “Art is a healer gift” Olga moved from St. Petersburg, Russia to NYC in 1998, combined and enjoying different cultures.
She earned her MD/BS in science in Russia in the St. Petersburg medical school, degree of master in alternative medicine, including using a conductive automatic painting in diagnostic of patients, also she completed Ericksonian hypnosis master program in NYC. She implements her knowledge and ability of automatic painting in her art.
