Olha Vlasova  

 You will receive this painting stretched, with painted edges and completely ready for hanging. Framing is not obligatory and depends only on your preference.

The "Sweet Home" series is dedicated to the feelings of peace, comfort, and safety we experience when we are at home.

This theme is deeply personal to the artist. Having endured more than 15 forced relocations and being unable to return to her childhood home, she values the sense of connection to her living space and longs to feel coziness and harmony. She strives to convey all of these warm feelings through pastel colors and soft, serene textures and patterns. In addition, the paintings are imbued with a sense of trust and love for the environment, loved ones, and home.

The artwork in this series celebrates everyday life, its beauty and true value. They strive to capture the moment and draw attention to the happiness that is so very close - in our homes.

ABOUT ARTIST

Olha Vlasova is a Ukrainian artist who has been passionate about painting since childhood. She received her higher art education in painting and costume design, which heavily influenced her work. Ornamentation also plays a significant role in her art.

Olha experiments with various techniques and materials, but she finds that acrylics offer boundless possibilities for imagination and exploration.

As a professional artist, Olha is deeply committed to exploring the themes of female sexuality and self-worth. Her goal is to illustrate that a woman's appearance does not diminish her importance or autonomy. Olha asserts that a woman's appearance is her choice, not a means to achieve goals at the expense of men.

As an artist, Olha focuses her research on conveying the personal experiences of women who encounter condescension and the diminution of their value due to sensitivity and femininity. She conveys that the concepts of femininity and seriousness, playfulness and rationality are not mutually exclusive and can coexist.

Olha's work actively participates in the discussion on tolerance and the pursuit of creating a safe space for self-expression. She incorporates themes of new sincerity in her work, embodying the desire to be oneself without the fear of encountering mockery, sarcasm, or societal labeling.

She has extensive artistic experience, and her works are held in private collections in the USA, Norway, Denmark, France, and Ukraine.
