About Olesya Izmaylova

 
 
  • Biography
    Hello! My name is Olesya Izmaylova, and I live and work in Finland. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember.
    Presently, my artwork graces private collections in diverse corners of the globe – from Finland to England, from USA to Japan.

    Living in a calm town in Finland has given me creative inspiration and the solitude I so value. Away from the hustle and bustle of big cyties, I can fully immerse myself in my art and express myself completely. This is reflected in every piece, in every brushstroke — my art exudes confidence and harmony.
    Paintings is a form of meditation, a reset, a return to my roots. I paint with acrylic on canvas and paper, striving to express a state of harmony and freedom. Each piece is a dive into my inner world, which I discover anew with every brushstroke.

    Light plays a crucial role in my works. I love creating contrast shadows and bathing the canvas in a honeyed glow to add a cozy atmosphere to my paintings. An interest in the world of fashion is also an important element of my creativity, lending a unique style to my works.
    However, a special place in my art belongs to the cat, a symbol of self-expression and courage. My ginger cat inspired me to create Ginger and his friend Bonnie, who have become the main characters in many of my works, embodying our inner selves, perhaps bolder, more courageous, free and liberated.

    My paintings resonate with a sense of self-sufficiency and self-assuredness, coexisting with an underlying warmth and affection. These pieces are particularly suited for those who are looking to get to know themselves and create the best version of themselves.

    Event: Reflections of Self: Freedom, Fashion, and Light

    Dates: 31 Jan 2025 - 22 Feb 2025

    Venue: Russian Centre for Science and Culture in Helsinki, Nordenskiöldinkatu 1

    I am delighted to invite you to the opening of my solo exhibition, which will take place on January 31 at 18:00 in Helsinki, Nordenskiöldinkatu 1.

    This exhibition invites viewers on a unique journey through three key themes that shape my art: freedom, self-expression, and harmony. The series featuring sneakers and graffiti embodies the spirit of freedom, defiance of norms, and the celebration of individuality through street art. The series with cats explores fashion as a means of self-expression, highlighting the connection between personality and aesthetics. Finally, the series with light and women captures fleeting emotions, the beauty of moments, and the interplay between inner harmony and the beauty of the external world. It is a dialogue of freedom, style, and light, where everyone can find a reflection of their own self.
