CONTEMPORARY ARTIST
I want to create magic, romance and celebration of life!
New Orleans based contemporary painter from a Russian descent. My life journey is long and filled with colorful memories, which I paint to this day. When I moved to New Orleans, I immediately got inspired to create, endlessly. I left the corporate world of being a successful Graphic Designer, Stylist and Art Director. I created advertising campaigns for companies like Under Armour, fashion houses in New York, Hearst Magazines, & retouched glossy magazine covers. Since, I got myself a painting studio in New Orleans, Louisiana. Now Celebrating life every day, and creating my visions on canvases. I am known for my kiss paintings and whimsical personal style. I travel often, frequently returning to Russia and Europe for new inspiration. Recent 2014 works were displayed At the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, “LA Contemporary”. Louisiana State Museum of Baton Rouge “Art Melt” Exhibit. Works are available to shop online at: OLYRObiSon.com whereyart.net

Celebration of Life Series. INSPIRED BY ART HISTORY & MODERN DAY TRENDS. My worldwide travels inspire a lot of the painting subject matter. From Faberge eggs of Imperial Russia, opulent landscapes in South of France, Gaudi of Barcelona, Moroccan Riads, to Alys Beach in the Gulf of Florida. The architectural and landscape elements come to life on my canvases. I am driven by vibrant colors, all these sources produce ornate and opulent visions, they mix with images of trend forward elements of modern day. Even if see an amazing print on the runway, it unconsciously reproduces itself onto a canvas at an intuitive moment. I sort of become a visual DJ of all things vibrate, sparkly and opulent!.
