Series: Woman: essence

In the series “Woman: Essence” Olia distorts the lines and the space and “dissolves” the images of women faces into the field of the canvas. This transforms them into signs and symbols, approaching them to the themes of fate, cosmos, intersecting them with the Unknown Woman (by Ivan Kramskoy), the pagan ancient and Foremother or a Spring (by Sandro Botticelli) which symbolizes the beginning of the world and birth. It is not by chance that some of the images in this series are called “Goddess's Contemplations.».

«By this series I cogitate on a contemporary woman focusing particularly on the intangible and spiritual elements that shape her existence. Through my vivid paintings and graphic reflections, I draw upon personal observations, narrating the chronicles of her journey through the lens of my own perspective and individual experiences. The theme of womanhood is inexhaustible, and I could devote a lifetime to expressing it through my art.»
