KISS COLLECTION
KISS COLLECTION
One night I had a dream of luscious, glossy lips surrounded by gold sparkle of the champagne bubbles, flying all around them. It was so surreal, it was almost real. Next morning I took the biggest canvas I had in the studio and painted this dream. Since then, the dreamy, glossy kiss story has evolved into endless stories. Every mouth has a story to tell. Each canvas is an expression of a given story in time, in a beautiful moment of pure joy and indulgence. Kiss is a genuine act that expresses care, love and passion. Each kiss story is an indulgent visual of this expression. Whether it takes place in an enchanted garden, a beach, or at sea. Its a celebration of life in its pure indulgence.
All the kisses on canvas are covered with gloss. Textural elements include: hand embroidery, swarovski crystals, and heavy gel acrylics.

“BLACK and GOLD” SKULL COLLECTION
Dreamy state of mind where nothing matters, only love, and beautiful things of nature that inspire us and make us happy. Stripped of all: no clothes, not even naked, just your foundation, the bones - the skull and the beautiful things surrounding it. We watch the butterflies beaming with color surround us and purely see our own reflection looking at the skull.
The use of resin gloss is intentional and very controlled. The purpose is self reflection, like standing in front of the self reflection pool at the Suzuki Museum of Zen Philosophy in Japan. Olesya was inspired by the fundamentals of zen philosophy while working on the project in Kanazawa, Japan. She wants you to experience this moment through pure form & color on canvas. Appreciate the beauty and the love. Feel happiness through the colors. Hand painted butterflies and 18k gold leaf material with playful use of Genuine Swarovski crystals.
