Step Into the World of O—Where Art Holds Meaning and Imagination Leads the Way.

I’m a contemporary surrealist artist and designer creating through the lens of both the seen and the unseen. Emotions, dreams, and quiet observations fuel my process, transforming into bold, symbolic works rooted in pop surrealism, visionary art, and character-based storytelling.

At the center is O—a roly-poly muse with soul, humor, and a touch of mystery.

Through Please Hold Studio, you’re invited into O’s world: a growing collection of artwork, mystical prints, and wearable pieces that explore stillness, curiosity, and transformation. Each creation is layered with color, symbolism, and intention—offering a meaningful experience for collectors, wanderers, and fans of O alike.

No Similar Characters. Just One Evolving Soul.

O is a “never-topple” character—originally imagined in Alla’s Brooklyn studio and designed to stand strong through every shift and season.

Explore the gallery of artwork featuring O in all her forms. While her signature shape and hairstyle remain the same, her expression shifts through changing eye colors, vibrant makeup, and ever-evolving color palettes. Each piece captures a unique moment in O’s emotional journey—no two exactly alike.

Alla K.’s Signature Aesthetic

I see O as a chameleon—effortlessly navigating the outer world while holding space for a vast, magical inner realm. Through her, I explore themes of transformation, curiosity, and the quiet dialogue between who we are on the outside and what we carry within.

Creating art with O lets me express emotions and stories that live beyond words. Each piece becomes a reflection of a feeling, a shift, or a moment that longs to be seen.

As I continue to uncover O’s journey—who she is, where she belongs—I find myself on a parallel path of discovery, filled with wonder, growth, and deep creative joy.

Always Changing, Always Unique
No two depictions of O are ever the same. Though her shape remains constant, she transforms with each piece—shifting through new colors, moods, symbols, and stories. Like a mirror to the moment, O evolves as I do.

 

A few years ago, as I began exploring meditation and breathwork, something awakened in me—a sense of childlike wonder I hadn’t felt in years. That shift quietly reshaped my relationship to art, opening doors to creative expression I hadn’t explored earlier in my career. Drawing became a daily ritual, bringing calm, clarity, and a renewed spark to my practice.

During the lockdown, in a time of collective stillness, I turned inward—and found comfort in creating. It was in that quiet that O first appeared. Her image arrived fully formed: a rounded, resilient figure that wobbles but never falls. She represented balance, inner strength, and the beauty of simply continuing forward. I knew right away—this was the character I was meant to create.
