Biography
Olesya Izmaylova, a contemporary Russian artist currently residing in Finland, distinguishes herself through her unique approach to painting. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas and paper, Olesya's artwork has garnered recognition in private collections spanning the globe, from Finland to England, from the USA to Japan.
At the heart of Olesya's creations lies her distinctive author's formula, blending the latest trends in contemporary art with elements of charisma and fashion. Central to many of her pieces is the presence of a charismatic cartoon cat, inspired by Olesya's own ginger 9-kilogram feline companion. This feline muse serves as a personification of human inner worlds, embodying qualities of courage, freedom, and liberation.
Drawing inspiration from the nuances of everyday life, particularly the influence of clothing and footwear on personal expression, Olesya's cat characters reflect humanity's desire to exude vibrancy, style, and vulnerability. Through her paintings, she invites viewers to see themselves mirrored in the canvas, resonating with themes of self-sufficiency, self-assuredness, and affection.
Guided by a philosophy rooted in individuality, Olesya's artworks are imbued with a rich tapestry of moods and emotions, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Her pieces serve as reflections of the diverse facets of human experience, offering glimpses into the depths of the soul and encouraging viewers to embrace their unique identities.

MY INSIGHTS AFTER HILMA AF KLINT EXIBITION
Recently, I watched a film about the famous Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, one of the first abstract artists. And this weekend I was at the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm and admired her work live. Her artworks are filled with power, mystery, idea and symbolism. But she didn't show her pictures after a negative opinion ...and only 20 years after her death, the work was shown to the world. And my main conclusion after the film about Hilma: No need to rely on someone else's opinion, especially the opinion of one person🙏 Not everyone will understand and appreciate your work. And it is OK. Everyone has the right to their own taste and opinion, it's just not your people, not your audience. We shouldn't give up if hear some kind of criticism or negative opinion. Artists who live a nd paint now are incredibly lucky! We live in a time when it's much easier to show your artwork to the world and find those people who will be moved by your paintings. I appriciate the oppotunity to use Artfinder to show and sell my artworks!
