A surrealistic portrait of young Lisa with Leo the cat as her guardian. This original painting is from the Little Guardians Series. Don’t worry, ginger Leo The Cat! Your Lisa will do just fine. She will marry a wealthy silk merchant and become La Gioconda (‘happy’ or ‘the joyful one’ in Italian). The famous Leonardo Da Vinci will paint her portrait, but she will never see it finished. According to my interpretation of events, Leonardo, being a very busy man, will not be able to finish the portrait commission on time. He will do so later. The artist will love the painting so much, it will be hanged in his bedroom. After his death a French king will bring it to Paris. Then after the French revolution Lisa’s portrait will be displayed in the best museum there, The Louvre. Ever dreamt about owing original Mona Lisa? The Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa was assessed at $100 million on December 14, 1962. Today, in 2021, the Mona Lisa is believed to be worth more than $867 million, taking into account inflation. The good and bad news is that it’s never going to be sold, so, we will never know the real price tag on the Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The Young Mona Lisa is the closest you can get to your dream. Do you believe in guardian angels? According to religious views guardian angels serve to protect and advise whichever person God assigns them to. They are spirits, that can take any physical form they want for a short period of time in order to accomplish the task they are given. I wonder if YOU could choose a physical form for your guardian angels, who would you pick to protect and defend you? Would you go for a pet, cat, bird, dog or any other animal? These believes aren’t Biblical, of cause, but millions of people truly view animals as their protectors, companions and confidants, as “the guardian angels” in a non-Biblical way. Acrylic paints, edges painted and varnished. Signed on the front with a full signature: Olga Kolesnik.

I am not an artist of one painting style. I like to experiment and explore the art landscape. This is probably definitely complicating my reputation as an artist in gallerists’ eyes, but attracts many different people who look for creative diversity, flexibility and fluidity within one artist. I do not want to die wondering how my art would look like if I were an abstract expressionist. I want to try it, do it, celebrate life as I see it and express myself in more ways than just one. While always staying true to my favourite subjects such as floral still life, birds, female portraits and occasional landscapes, I utilize elements of a few styles to add interest and a contemporary twist to a painting to create something original and exciting. In my figurative artworks, I often fill nearly realistic shapes with emotions of certain chosen colours. I also like the intuitiveness and freedom abstract art offers and adore both the pure forms , ‘a form filtered to its essentials’ (Matisse), and conciseness of minimalism and maximalism of colourful expressionist abstracts. I began to draw and paint when I was a child and finished high school with a formal qualification and certificate allowing me to work as a Graphic Design artist. But it didn’t happen. I got my Master’s Degree in Engineering instead and then worked as an engineer & research scientist and in technical Sales & Marketing. I have always been interested in art. When I picked up brushes for real, sometime after moving to Sydney, I felt like I never ceased to paint. It took me a few years, many workshops and classes with the best Australian artists to realize that it was time to go on my own journey. I would call myself an Australian Colourist, an artist who prefers bold, vivid colours. I don’t see the world through dark tinted sunglasses. I would rather exaggerate a colour than imitate greyed muted colour and use the colour that works than the colour that’s ‘really there’. But the truth is I like all the colours to paint with, including the polar opposites, those on a bright Matisse’s palette and neutral pastel hues. I can use only neutral tones if they describe the theme and emotions of the painting better. I believe that our relationship with colours works both ways. They influence our feelings and, the other way around, our mood or personality dictates what colours we dislike, love or choose.
