Olei Soleil

Olei Soleil (Olga Grishchenko) was born in Ukraine in the town of Chuguev, the place where the outstanding Russian artist Ilya Repin was born once. Since childhood, she was fond of photography and art but discovered the artist in herself much later. She independently mastered various visual techniques and directions from painting to graphics: landscape, portrait, sacred images, abstraction, wu xing.

Her main inspiration is the beauty of Tantrism and the philosophy of the Great Abyss. In her work, she depicts objects of the surrounding reality as waves of energy and light from the depths of darkness, using gold for this on a black canvas. Most often, she depicts beautiful silhouettes of women and couples, human bodies and flowers in gold.

In an effort to express the original essence of the surrounding reality, each object painted on canvas in gold becomes more majestic and acquires special dignity and significance than the naked eye sees.

Her creative plans are to create a series of monochrome canvases on the theme of the seasons, a series of her golden silhouettes, as well as to embody many ideas.
