Olha Vlasova
Lady with dinosaur

2024

About the Item

The edges are painted The painting is a story of inner acquaintance and complete acceptance of one's own peculiarities and oddities. This ironic canvas tells the story of a girl who acknowledges and revels in her uniqueness by embodying a small creature that resembles a dinosaur. The painting also features a specific color palette reminiscent of a photographic filter. This effect serves as a symbol of the subjectivity of our perception of reality, which depends on our internal "filters. The landscape in the background is a surreal park labyrinth, symbolizing the incomprehensibility and unpredictability of each person's path. The artist suggests that each person's path depends on the choices made at each moment. However, the journey will be more enjoyable and fulfilling if one accepts one's "dinosaur". 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.
