Olia
Breva

Every artist constructs their own mythology, which serves as a coordinate system in their relationship with the world, revealing the emergence of their emotions, life circumstances, ideas and goals. This interaction resonates with the environment, giving rise to a synergy between the artist and the viewer.

Olia Breva creates her own mythology exploring the theme of existential vulnerability in modern society, a significant philosophical challenge of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Olia Breva’s artworks encompasses Expressionism movement, ranging from Abstract expressionism to Expressionistic realism and Action Painting, which allow her to interpret human emotions to the fullest extent, from trauma to joy, sometimes unconscious.

Stylistically she finds affinity with the origins of the movement drawing inspiration from artists such as Helen de Kooning (USA, 1918−1989) and Grace Hartigan (USA, 1922−2008), as well to her generation contemporaries — for example Derek Stefanuk (Canada, born in 1980).
