Der Hnd

▼ Welcome to my world of vivid, phantasmagoric art.

▼ DÉRHND (derived from the German “der Hund” — the dog) is the creative alias of contemporary figurative artist Olga Filatow.

▼ “I love observing nature with its absolute perfection & incredible aesthetics in all manifestations. The processes are infinitely beautiful, even death is beautiful in its own way. I’m fascinated by the sacral world of the human subconsciousness, immersing into its depth to bring hidden fears, complex meanings, and images to the surface—elements that usually do not fit into the format of words. I am deeply curious about the primal instincts of human nature and their disclosure according to environment, culture, ethnicity, mythology, and archetypes. By shaping these surreal images in a realistic painted manner, a unique world is created—full of vivid colors, symbolism, and phantasmagoria.”

▼ Working exclusively with high-quality, rich oil textures and a commanding, cinematic color palette, DÉRHND creates large-scale oil paintings that do not merely occupy space; they dominate it. Melding rigorous technical skill with dark magical realism, each original canvas is designed as a high-impact statement piece for sophisticated contemporary art collections...
