Olga Ibadullayeva

Sunset. After the Rain

2020

Olga Ibadullayeva is an accomplished fine artist currently based in Singapore, distinguished by a profound classical foundation and a dynamic, experimental approach. Her artistic journey commenced at the age of four in Ukraine, culminating in a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design from the prestigious Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts (KSADA). This academic rigor is supplemented by further specialization in Oil Painting from LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore (2017). Rooted in traditional methods, Olga proficiently employs oil and watercolor to execute her vision. Her work serves as a contemplative counterpoint to modern life, aiming to help viewers "take a breath from the daily rush" and reflect on the extraordinary within the ordinary. She masterfully captures "the small invisible things" and "remarkable events" of daily existence. Olga’s practice skillfully navigates the traditional, primarily utilizing oil for depth and longevity, and watercolor for fluidity and light. Her methodology is one of continuous experimentation, allowing her to bridge classical techniques with modern and conceptual art sensibilities. Olga's international exhibition record includes solo and collective shows in Italy and Singapore, such as the solo exhibition at the PassepARTout Unconventional Gallery in Milano (2023). Her pieces are recognized and collected, notably featured in a curated selection on The Saatchi Gallery, London, UK.
