About the Item
You will receive this painting stretched, with painted edges and completely ready for hanging. Framing is not obligatory and depends only on your preference.
This painting depicts a true friendship between two very close individuals, whose relationship forms a close-knit and insular ecosystem, sometimes hostile to the outside world.
The artist was inspired by a childhood situation. When two girls in a large group shared a small piece of chocolate just between them. In that moment, they felt as if they had formed a secret society, and their friendship became even stronger, with its own secrets and dark sides.
The rats in this painting symbolize the imperfection of human personality. But even these imperfections serve as important pillars of friendship and mutual understanding. A friend's ability to recognize and accept such peculiarities is a crucial milestone in the development of truly sincere relationships.
The colors of the painting convey the warmth and vibrancy of the friends' feelings for each other. And the closed circular composition suggests the intimacy and comfort of their communication.
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.
