Olesya Ianovitch

Born in Maikain, Kazakhstan. A small town in the former USSR, known for gold mining. The love of gold must have been at birth, as Olesya uses 24K gold paint in all of her paintings of all sizes large and small. Olesya moved to the US in teenage years. She earned her Bachelor of Fines Arts and Graphic Design degree. And after a successful career in Art Direction and Graphic Design for HBO, Hearst, A&F, and Under Armour. She followed her dream of becoming a visual artist and now resides in New Orleans, LA. Her work has been shown in galleries and museums around the world, including the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Louisiana State Museum and most recently, The red Dot Fair, Art Basel Miami.

My paintings tell a story of love and a true celebration of life. Close your eyes.. Imagine falling in love and indulging on the never-ending kiss, and a life full of true moments of happiness. My paintings speak a romantic language of love, lived through an unforgettable life journey.

Inspiration: I travel the world about 6 months out of the year, and discover new places, see and experience new things Meet incredible people.. Everywhere I go, I paint. From Gaudi Park in Barcelona, to hidden whimsical beaches in Ibiza, Spain, to ice glazed...
