Description
The painting explores desire as a trap. A woman wants an expensive handbag. Hovering above her - standing right on her head- is a boy: a thought that has taken physical form. A city grows out of his head -a vision of the happiness she longed for but never attained. In the bottom corner sits a small devil clutching a handbag. He is not the protagonist, but a commentator: 'You deserve it; this will elevate your status.' At the other end, a sniper kneels, hunting those who hunt for handbags. The crux of it is this: the moment she buys the bag, the sniper will fire. She will end up in hell - but only by virtue of having bought that bag. In other words, hell is not a punishment for sin; hell is the very moment the desire is fulfilled. Because once the shot is fired, nothing else matters.
Presentation
Born in 1976, Russia. Received an art education at the A.N. Kosygin Moscow State Technical University. For over 20 years, Olga worked with clothing: as a costume designer in film and TV production, a designer in fashion and manufacturing, and a stylist in an image agency and on Russian television.
She brings her love for a cohesive, thoughtful image and diverse stylistic interpretations of costume to her art, embodying them in several series: the Himalayan "Achromatic Neural Networks," the Nepalese "Between Mountains and Lakes," and the Goan "Microcosm of a Grain of Sand."
From 2022 to 2025, Olga traveled throughout Southeast Asia, living among local residents, observing communities, and exploring the diffusion of identity.
Works are in private collections in Russia, Ukraine, Tatarstan, Germany, UAE, India.
