marina
Olesik

Born in 1982 in the Komi Republic, USSR. Note that since the age of two, she has traveled across the entire European part of Russia (4000 km) from the extreme North to the extreme South (Black Sea coast) by train/car. She spent all her summers in the south. Living in the two extreme points in terms of temperatures and temperaments have reflected in Marina's worldview.

Marina has the character of a pilgrim, a thirst to travel and seek, accepting the diversity of the entire world around her and rejecting traditions and academicism.

She received her tertiary education in the field of marketing, which gave her a view on advertising as an art and the acceptance of the latest technologies as an opportunity to express herself.

She started painting in 2013. In 2019, she moved to Greece, to the city of Thessaloniki, where local businessmen became interested in her paintings. By 2022, the works of Marina Olesik were in private collections of Turkish, Greek, and Russian entrepreneurs.
