ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The painting "Mavka" takes us to the world of Ukrainian folklore.
According to mythology, Mavkas are the souls of girls who drowned in
rivers because of their sorrows and disappointments, and now their
spirits wander in search of peace. This painting embodies the
unspeakable pain of loss and the echoes of eternal regret.
Through this canvas, the artist offers a reflection on the nature of
love, and its potentially destructive power that can lead to self-destruction. He poses a question: Can such a deep and powerful
emotion as love become a destructive force? Mavka" is not just a
depiction of a mythical creature, but a metaphor for the suffering that
remains after unrequited love, and a challenge to find meaning and
peace within it.
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.
