Olesya Dzhuraeva

Olesya Dzhuraeva- Born in Dushanbe, Ukraine. She started off drawing in pastel, etched, and mixed collagraph techniques in 2004. After some years transitioned into different techniques of linocut. It is amazing that I came across a Ukrainian artist at this time. As an artist that is currently living in Ukraine, how is she dealing with everything that is going on? How will this affect Olesya? How will it change her art?

My idea is to somehow overlay linocuts print on top of the same or a blurred-out version of the same image.

"This linear work is what she now mostly practices to render the world that surrounds her and inhabits her.  Her hometown makes regular appearances in her prints, as does life indoors.  A quiet, somewhat frozen atmosphere permeates her esthetic, in which she technically gravitates towards patterns.  Fog, dusk, darkness, humidity, wood, metal or clouds, all are elements of Olesya’s reality which she relishes breaking down into line, dot, crosshatching: into shades of black."
