We were lucky to catch up with Olga Saretsky recently and have shared our conversation below.
Olga, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
Creating New Sculpture collection dedicated to Chakra philosophy .
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Olga Saretsky Founder of Kikimora Inc known as Kikimora Studio Art and Kikimora Fashion clothing brand.
How you got into your industry / business / discipline / craft etc-Since childhood?
I displayed an unanticipated penchant for performance arts. Unplanned home dances and elaborate interpretive shows for relatives showcased my innate interest. Thanks to my mother’s support, I joined dance and music classes. Little did I know that performing before crowds would become a reality. At 15, I auditioned for a radio station, propelling me to local acclaim as a dancer and choreographer. Setting my sights globally, I ventured beyond borders, journeying through South & Central Asia, Europe, and now residing in Miami, FL, USA. Dreams materialize – mine have led to an enriching odyssey.
What type of products/services/creative works you provide,?
In 2011, I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, having spent six years in the US. My vision was to craft unique Art Characters – avant-garde living statues that would grace art galleries, events, and gatherings. From the outset, my mind teemed with countless concepts and designs yearning to materialize, but the “how” remained elusive. Determined, I self-educated in the art of molding wire, foam, fabric, and glue into grand forms. Each new design is a voyage into uncharted territory, a favorite phase of mine. The thrill of deciphering fresh contours and refining finishes for my avant-garde visions invigorates my creative spirit.
Presently, my company specializes in delivering Living Art entertainment, often heralded as the High Fashion Circus to local and international events. In addition, I operate a fashion brand that crafts tailor-made costumes for performers all over the world.
What problems you solve for your clients and/or what you think sets you apart from others?

Step into our art gallery and discover firsthand the exceptional solutions we offer. Immerse yourself in an unparalleled, exclusive encounter as you witness the mesmerizing performances of our magnificent Art characters. Kikimora shows provide an opportunity to indulge in extraordinary uniqueness, offering a live spectacle that not only ignites breathtaking beauty but also envelopes you in an aura of grace. It’s a testament to our commitment to providing unparalleled value and unmatched artistry.
What are you most proud of and what are the main things you want potential clients/followers/fans to know about you/your brand/your work/ etc?
I take immense pride and satisfaction in embracing the gifts life bestows upon me. I once envisioned myself in various desired scenarios and then released those notions, allowing life’s wonders to unfold. The bedrock of my contentment lies in the stability of my thriving business, affording me the privilege of being my own boss. Above all, I cherish the liberty of creative expression. Continuously seeking growth, I currently embark on an exhilarating endeavor – curating a Wearable Art show. This new collection, set to debut on August 26, 2023, in Clearwater, FL, is a manifestation of my devotion to artistic innovation. Inspired by the profound philosophy of Chakras within Western thought, my presentation promises a harmonious fusion of creativity and spirituality.

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
Certainly, reflecting on my creative journey, I realize that one invaluable resource I wish I had recognized earlier is my own inherent potential. Understanding that I am the wellspring of what I’ve been seeking would have alleviated a considerable amount of needless anxiety. This realization would have honed my focus on the essential aspects of my journey, enabling me to channel my energy more effectively into what truly matters.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most gratifying facet of being an artist or creative, in my perspective, is the profound connection I establish with my inner self. Through each artistic endeavor, I embark on a journey of communication with my boundless spirit, gradually unraveling its depths. This process of self-discovery stands as my ultimate aspiration. For in comprehending oneself, one gains insight into the intricacies of existence itself.
