A practical guide
From the studio of Olga DziemidowiczMelbourne, Australia
Life, unfolding.
Painted live.
Original paintings of meaningful occasions, made in the company of the people who give them life.
A note from the artist
I'm Olga, a Melbourne-based painter. I'm interested in atmosphere, movement and the feeling of being in a place.
At an event, the painting grows in the company of the people it will remember.

Outside the studio
A room in motion.
A painting taking shape.
The setting gives me a starting point. Then come the changing light, the movement of guests, and the small details that make an occasion its own.
Some of the work is observation; some of it is conversation. Both find their way into the painting.

Field notes · Halcyon Jardin
A place,
and its people.
For the opening of the Halcyon Jardin Clubhouse, I began with the architecture, then added colour, atmosphere and the residents who would bring the space to life.
The painting was completed and varnished that evening. It now hangs in the clubhouse, among the people it depicts.
Notes on the process
A plan, with room
for the unexpected.
- 01
Before the room fills
We discuss the occasion, the setting and the composition, considering the story you want the painting to tell.
- 02
As the event unfolds
I work in layers, responding to changing light, movement and the people around me.
- 03
The finishing touches
Many paintings return to the studio; some are completed at the event. The approach is agreed around your brief.
