Olia Kolesnyk (the Hedgehog)
Hi, I'm Olia! I am a Ukrainian multimedia artist based in Germany. I work in visual storytelling: animation, illustration, sculpture, and mixed techniques.
Neurodivergence in all its forms
Motivational Interviewing
Documentary animation
Miniature sculpture
Argentine Tango
Psychology
Deep talk
Bonsai
I create emotionally resonant works that offer a small piece of light, hope, belonging, and inspiration. I specialize in explaining complex or abstract topics in understandable visual forms.
Across animation, design, illustration, and mixed-media projects I explore emotional vulnerability and depth, building story-worlds where viewers can feel seen and understood.

I aim to craft emotionally resonant pieces that offer a small piece of light — hope, belonging, and inspiration.
Across film, animation, illustration, and mixed-media projects I explore emotional vulnerability and depth, building immersive story-worlds where viewers can feel seen and understood.
Living with neurodivergence inspired my artistic persona, the Hedgehog, who now appears throughout my work as a curious interviewer and gentle guide.
