Olya Avstreikh was born in 1988 in Moscow.

In 2010 she graduated from the Faculty of Foreign Languages

Moscow State University. Thereafter

moved to London where she studied media management at the University of Westminster for two years. In 2021, she graduated from the HSE School of Design with a degree in Contemporary Painting under the supervision of Vladimir Dubossarsky. In her practice, the artist explores the thin line between reality and illusion, fixes the gap between the external and internal perception of life. her mission is catching the elusive and ghostly states, groping for the inner emptiness that we are so good at hiding. Olya notes that in the modern world, a person feels rather awkward than organic, she studies the complexities of the current socio-cultural landscape and the feeling of isolation in which we find ourselves. According to the artist, her works balance between two extremes - complete loneliness and "neurotic fiesta". Lives and works in Moscow
