- “Olga Soulachaki travaille la peinture au plus près, dans son grain, sa matérialité, sa picturalité dans un style très contemporain, celui de la pixellisation numérique, comme en leur temps les impressionnistes, c’est une nouvelle manière d’appréhender le monde de la couleur. Le numérique absorbe la réalité, Olga lui renvoie son image par le biais de la peinture, comme un miroir. Ses parties de corps représentées travaillent avec l’obscène et la décomposition, ce qui est également le propre de certains contenus internet, ce n’est pas tant une mise en valeur de l’érotisme, qu’une critique acerbe de la chair pour la chair. Ses personnages sont rarement dans leur entier, ce sont des focus où elle tente de saisir l’instant fugitif de la jouissance, la petite mort.” Laurent Quénéhen, commissaire d’exposition “Salo VIII” Paris, France.
- “Olga Soulachaki is a graduate of Athens School of Fine Arts. Her work is a confession, it peeks into the thought and feelings to interpret the world, ask for forgiveness, say “thank you” and think of her own memories and experiences. The work she exhibited at ArtsFemin “$€X¥ Gstaad” exhibition in Feb. 2020 was titled “In and Out of Us” 200 x 150 cm, oil on canvas, is part of the “Daily Life” series of paintings about the expression of sexuality of our everyday routine.
It was and will always be a privilege to work with such a wonderful talented artist; Olga will have her place in art history.” ArtsFemin, curator and promoter of “$€X¥ Gstaad” exhibition, Gstaad, Switzerland. - “Fantastic exhibition! A “punch to the stomach”, it gives you very tough feelings!! Olga is a gifted artist and a wonderful person.” Stavros Zapantis, deputy mayor of Kifissia Municipality of infrastructure and technical service, energy saving and sustainability, citizen friendship.
