    I was painting my whole life, first commissions were at 15. Now I am a full time artist working in my own studio near London. Having experience with vaious projects like book illustration, character creation, bottle design, concept design for theatre and various personal projects, commission paintings and my personal projects which you can find on my website above. Participated in exhibitions in several countries. Its hard to tell what my style actually is, because I've always been into trying some new mediums and styles, it became such a mix when I mastered so many of them. And as I studied to becoem a stylist in University, it helped a lot with creating my own personal style. I am always open to complex projects and collaborations- both longterm and short. Art is about experimenting with yourself. But there is one thing in common, people say, that my works are very "lively". My work varies from hyper-realistic to abstract and concept, from digital to oil painting. See more on my insta: o.lga.z or website: oilzart.com

    I've been working in the art industry for 6 years now. I've worked on music projects with many small artists of different genres, ranging from heavy metal to pop. I've done poster work for festivals, many private commissions of all kinds and lots of tattoo commissions. I pride myself in my ability to try any new ideas put in front of me, and I'm incredibly versatile in my art style. My favourite media is ink and watercolor, which I often use to create works based around nature, surrealism and horror. I love working with new people, and creating a collaboration of our ideas. I'm also an incredibly fast worker, last year I embarked on a challenge to complete a piece of art every day, and so far I've produced over 500 pieces in the past year alone. Art is what I love most, and I love to be able to share it in any way I can.
