Fascination has always played an important part in Ongenia’s art: a childish infatuation with form, texture, color and relationship as a content in itself, yet also as the holders of a key to something beyond. Therefore, in her works she maintains a dialogue with the concrete, addressing it as if it was an oracle – sometimes it tends to be reserved and enigmatic and at other times she gets a glimpse, small disclosures. Art for Ogenia has always been a way of making sense of the world, as in a pre-verbal state. Her guides were other people’s works of art – plastic and literary. Nature plays an important role in her art, almost always populated, with the presence of a human figure. She genuinely strives for a greater abstraction of her brushstrokes and currently this is her battle.
