The secret of human life is hidden in the act itself - in the ascent from birth to death. Sometimes we do not have the power to choose the roads that lead us. But on each path there is a turn when we can make a choice and move to another level of our perception of reality. The way of the Angel is a philosophy in the picture, enclosed in the form of a narrative of one life. The birth and presence of the Guardian Angel - whom the infant also took by the hand-are shown as the main plot that unites all the episodes of life. We either accept this help from above and everything we have lived becomes meaningful on the way to ascent to the higher world, or we deny it and plunge into a series of meaningless events that fill our lives with disappointments and disappointments. On this canvas, there are several spaces, contrasting events: a stormy, gloomy sky around the baby and at the very top of the picture, open skies with silhouettes of praying saints, whose presence strengthens the sorrows of the ascent born of meaning. In the outlines of the buildings, between which the stairway to heaven passes, you can see the silhouettes of a prison, a megalopolis, a monastery and, at the highest stage , a majestic castle, where two figures enter, holding hands, as a symbol of love, elevating a person to the attainment of eternity. A stray cat at the feet of an Angel carries the image of a soul seeking shelter ... You can look at this picture by connecting visually the subjects, crossing them arbitrarily and endlessly plunging into the emerging thoughts, where the Angel himself lives his earthly path in a person with golden iridescences from the darkness...

Alina Olenina was born in 1969 in Samara. Creative biography began in early childhood, when the young artist felt her ability to reflect the world around her on paper and in modeling. Painting and sculpture have become an integral part of life and formed a special attentive look at the beauty of reality. Alina Olenina studied in various studios and masters, maintaining their individuality. A few years of training at art school and the academy seemed to her boring, and the artist chose her own path. For 15 years studying the spiritual content of life, she turned to iconography and painted icons, which decorate many famous churches in Russia and Ukraine, are in private collections. Impressionism and realism intertwined in the images of the creative search for deep spiritual beauty. The experienced artist works in different styles and directions, for each picture finds its own special way of expression. Smooth classical brush painting for the restrained surface observation of nature and vice versa, textured volume stroke with a palette knife for masculine images or vivid combination of color and shape. Solo exhibitions in Russia and abroad always arouse keen interest, and many of Alina Olenina's paintings are in private collections in Japan, the United States, Spain and other countries. The artist shares her admiration and desire to create with her students-people who want to join the painting. Numerous followers of the artist get the necessary experience in her workshops and paint their own pictures. Alina Olenina lives and works in Moscow and teaches painting at studios in Moscow and the suburbs, being in constant creative inspiration.
