Olesia, founder of ILKIV ART

Meet Olesia

Hi, I'm Olesia - the artist behind ILKIV ART! I've spent years bringing color and joy to birthday parties, block parties, and festivals across Chicago and Chicagoland. Every design is done freehand, tailored to what each kid loves most.

Alongside my partner Arsen (our balloon twisting artist), we've made it our mission to make every event stress-free for parents and unforgettable for kids - one brushstroke and balloon at a time.
