Olga Men

Olga Men was born in 1963 and lived in Saint Petersburg until 2015. A professional costume designer with years of experience in children’s theatre, she began creating one-of-a-kind dolls after moving to Armenia. Self-taught and deeply inspired by Armenian culture, she has handcrafted over 250 polymer clay dolls since 2016, each a unique, articulated art piece. Her work blends theatrical, folkloric, and fantasy elements and has been featured in solo and group exhibitions. She also founded the Armenian Doll Artists’ Community, uniting local creators.
