Hello! My name is Olesya Izmaylova, and I live and work in Finland. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I paint in my unique technique with acrylics and sometimes watercolor pencils on canvas and paper. Presently, my artwork graces private collections in diverse corners of the globe – from Finland to Sweden, England, Uzbekistan, and Japan. My unique author's formula bring together the latest trends within stylish, contemporary artworks. The charismatic cartoon cat and the world of fashion form the essence of my creations. The central character of many of my pieces is a cat, inspired by my own ginger 9-kilogram domestic companion - the personification of each of us, our inner worlds, sometimes more courageous, free and liberated. Drawing inspiration from everyday life, where clothing and footwear set the tone for each morning, my cat mirrors our aspiration to be vibrant, stylish, free, and sometimes tenderly vulnerable – regardless of the role we embrace on any given day. My artistic philosophy is firmly rooted in individuality, and thus, my works strive to convey moods and emotions, allowing each viewer to find a piece of themselves within the canvas. My paintings resonate with a sense of self-sufficiency and self-assuredness, coexisting with an underlying warmth and affection. These pieces are particularly suited for those seeking to cultivate an environment of harmony between the outer world and their inner selves, a setting permeated by love and harmony.
