Born in Ukraine (1991) & currently based in Tuscany, Italy Olga Ermol has been creating artwork since the age of 9 when by accident she walked into an art teachers room, while searching for her guitar lesson in a Soviet music school. The music direction never took off, whilst painting has rapidly became a form of meditation and an exploration of herself and the world. Having completed studies in Graphic Arts in the UK and Interior Design in Italy, Ermol now is a full time artist working with mediums of oil paints, sculpture, digital illustration & pattern making.
Ermol's artwork is bright and colourful, often consisting of saturated raw colours, at times composed in a day, at times over years of layers. She draws inspiration for her colourful interpretations of life from her personal experiences. She finds timeless beauty in animal and human figure interpretations. Human sexuality and somewhat “Freudian” motifs frequently slip through her brush, referring to “daddy issues”, ex-lovers, denying sexuality and your identity. Ermol mostly mixes the paint directly on the canvas, and prefers a palette knife to a brush, which frequently leads to unexpected and interesting results. www.olgaermol.com
