Olga Lomaka is a multidisciplinary artist recognised for her bold, pop-inspired aesthetic and innovative sculptural practice. Working across painting, sculpture, installation, and mixed media, Lomaka explores themes of consumer culture, perception, identity, and the psychology of contemporary society through a distinctive visual language that merges the familiar with the unexpected.
Lomaka exhibits internationally, with regular participation in major global art fairs, biennales, and cultural events worldwide. Her series Pink Magic was included in the Grayson Perry-curated Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and was featured in The Sunday Times and The Guardian. In 2016, she presented Artefacts, a solo exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London, dedicated to the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II.
Her work combines recognisable imagery and symbols of consumerism with unusual colour palettes and layered visual references, creating compositions that reveal hidden meanings and social commentary beneath playful surfaces. Through the prism of pop art, Lomaka examines the contradictions of modern life, bringing together the concrete and the abstract, the familiar and the unknown.
With a sophisticated eye for the extraordinary within everyday life, the artist uncovers deeper spiritual and social concerns, while questioning perceptions of reality and consciousness. Constantly experimenting with new techniques, including carving and aerography, Lomaka combines traditional materials with contemporary media to create dynamic, multidimensional works.
In 2002, Lomaka completed a painting course at Loyola University Chicago (USA). She later continued her Fine Art education at Central Saint Martins before graduating with a BA in Painting from Camberwell College of Arts in 2015.
Lomaka is the recipient of numerous art awards and international competition prizes. Her projects include collaborations with Vogue magazine and various fashion brands. Her works are held in the collections of the Pierre Cardin Foundation (Lacoste), the Fine Art Foundation (London), Loyola University Foundation (Chicago), CICA Museum (Seoul), and the Erarta Museum (St. Petersburg), as well as in private collections internationally.
In my work, I explore recognisable imagery and symbols of consumer culture, transforming iconic references from popular culture to create new meanings and associations.
Visually, my work is bright, colourful, playful, and often infused with humour, while also addressing deeper questions about contemporary society, human behaviour, and systems of value. I am interested in the influence of visual language and the layers of meaning embedded within pop culture.
Working across painting, sculpture, installation, and mixed media, I continuously experiment with materials, texture, and form to create works that are visually engaging while encouraging reflection on the contradictions and complexities of modern life.
