About The Artwork
Concrete relief "Female Domination And Submission", finished with sprincled gold leaf is a great addition to luxury interior spaces. It explores opposite aspects of a woman. "If you want to change the world… love a woman-really love her. Find the one who calls to your soul, who doesn’t make sense. Throw away your check list and put your ear to her heart and listen. Hear the names, the prayers, the songs of every living thing- every winged one, every furry and scaled one, every under ground and underwater one, every green and flowering one, every not yet born and dying one… Hear their melancholy praises back to the One who gave them life. If you haven’t heard your own name yet, you haven’t listened long enough. If your eyes aren’t filled with tears, if you aren’t bowing at her feet, you haven’t ever grieved having almost lost her. If you want to change the world… love a woman-one woman beyond yourself, beyond desire and reason, beyond your male preferences for youth, beauty and variety and all your superficial concepts of freedom. We have given ourselves so many choices we have forgotten that true liberation comes from standing in the middle of the soul’s fire and burning through our resistance to Love. There is only one Goddess. Look into Her eyes and see-really see if she is the one to bring the axe to your head. If not, walk away. Right now. Don’t waste time “trying.” Know that your decision has nothing to do with her because ultimately it’s not with who, but when we choose to surrender. If you want to change the world… love a woman. Love her for life-beyond your fear of death, beyond your fear of being manipulated by the Mother inside your head. Don’t tell her you’re willing to die for her. Say you’re willing to LIVE with her, plant trees with her and watch them grow. Be her hero by telling her how beautiful she is in her vulnerable majesty, by helping her to remember every day that she IS Goddess through your adoration and devotion. If you want to change the world… love a woman in all her faces, through all her seasons and she will heal you of your schizophrenia- your double-mindedness and half-heartedness which keeps your Spirit and body separate- which keeps you alone and always looking outside your Self for something to make your life worth living. There will always be another woman. Soon the new shiny one will become the old dull one and you’ll grow restless again, trading in women like cars, trading in the Goddess for the latest object of your desire. Man doesn’t need any more choices. What man needs is Woman, the Way of the Feminine, of Patience and Compassion, non-seeking, non-doing, of breathing in one place and sinking deep intertwining roots strong enough to hold the Earth together while she shakes off the cement and steel from her skin. If you want to change the world… love a woman, just one woman . Love and protect her as if she is the last holy vessel. Love her through her fear of abandonment which she has been holding for all of humanity. No, the wound is not hers to heal alone. No, she is not weak in her codependence. If you want to change the world… love a woman all the way through until she believes you, until her instincts, her visions, her voice, her art, her passion, her wildness have returned to her- until she is a force of love more powerful than all the political media demons who seek to devalue and destroy her. If you want to change the world, lay down your causes, your guns and protest signs. Lay down your inner war, your righteous anger and love a woman… beyond all of your striving for greatness, beyond your tenacious quest for enlightenment. The holy grail stands before you if you would only take her in your arms and let go of searching for something beyond this intimacy. What if peace is a dream which can only be re-membered through the heart of Woman? What if a man’s love for Woman, the Way of the Feminine is the key to opening Her heart? If you want to change the world…love a woman to the depths of your shadow, to the highest reaches of your Being, back to the Garden where you first met her, to the gateway of the rainbow realm where you walk through together as Light as One, to the point of no return, to the ends and the beginning of a new Earth."

Olga Kostrova is a contemporary artist / sculptor whose art work became her cause. "People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that's how they'll react. But if you say, 'We want peace, we want stability,' we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society", said Nelson Mandela Unfortunately, it didn't work for many women (children and young men) who became victims of violence / rape, whose body was violated... Kostrova's work promotes strengths in the face of any adversities, including pain - physical or emotional... She explores compination of materials, textures, shapes, subtle colors... Proceeds from her work go towards probono work with those who cannot afford PTSD therapy or post-traumatic counseling. Olga found her passion for the arts during childhood. Very early in life Olga discovered that she can heal people... It might have happened as a result of her overcoming many life's adversities and acts of violence. Olga had was lucky enough to avoid deaths, she was raped, robbed under a gun in her home, almost killed by strangers and lovers... She has seen and experienced it all. Her art work aims to advocate non-violence. She offers alternative art therapy to victims of violence - probono work is funded from proceeds from her art. Olga Kostrova was born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1973 into a family living huddled together in a tiny one room apartment. There were 6 people: mother, father, older sister and two grandmothers. Olga: "My grandmothers were heroic women. Fleeing from the fascist army, my mother's natural parents left their new-born baby on a doorstep a few hours before they were killed. Two sisters found my mother on the threshold of their house. These women brought up my mother as their own child, in spite of abject poverty and famine. I thank my lucky stars that I grew up in this family with people who could, in those conditions, lavish care upon each other. They gave me the opportunity to understand what is meant by goodness, wisdom and strength." Her mother says: "Olga always did what she wanted to do. She was very insistent and achieved everything she desired. She rarely listened to anyone's advice. She discovered her own way and learned firsthand. She was an unbelievably bright and charming child.
