Olga Mun

Olga Mun is a Russian-born British painter based in Manchester, working mainly in large-scale oils, and her multicultural background infuses her practice with diverse visual memories. Her dynamic technique shifts fluidly between abstraction and figuration; she builds, erases, and repaints intuitively, allowing unexpected figures and scenes—often referencing mythology and art history—to materialize and transform. Through expressive mark-making, luminous color, and layered surfaces, she conjures a vivid emotional spectrum, inviting the viewer into worlds where tenderness, strength, unease, and pleasure coexist, capturing the mysterious intensity and ambiguity of the human condition.
