Emerging artist and photographer from Russia based in Finland whose work is inspired by the beauty of natural things, including things most people see no beauty in. Using mixed media, the artworks tell visual stories about pressing issues that are talked about widely, but do not get addressed properly. Combining realism and fantasy, the artworks let the viewer step into the shoes of those whose shoes we do not want to be in, aiming to inspire to take action to preserve and grow the beauty of peaceful and mindful existence. Olesia’s artworks have been shortlisted for international art contests in Russia and Serbia, as well as exhibited in Finland and the UK.
