“Any fragment of beauty can become a moment that brings us back to one simple and sensible thing-to life in peace and harmony.We are all waiting for the victory of my country.”-Olga Volianska
Award winning Ukrainian born and based photographer Olga Volianska has two art educations; fashion design and design of the architectural environment.In 2017 she discovered a new passion - photography. In the beginning it was photography from travels. She participated in numerous workshops and photo trips around the world, from Nepal to Paris along side outstanding masters of photography, including a portfolio review with Gueorgui Pinkhassov. In 2020, during the Pandemic, photography took on a new meaning for Olga and became another tool for her artistic expression. After graduating from the Kyiv School of Photography, having passed all the programs of Dimitri Bogachuk, Olga became seriously interested in fine art photography, the results of which are presented in this exhibition. As the Pandemic continued and along with Russian aggression, a new reality forced Olga to start to shoot at home and work with personal archives. The Cardinal Gallery is thrilled to bring those archives to light in Volianska's North American premiere exhibition. Olga currently lives in Odessa, Ukraine.Volianskaʼs work is a shining beacon of hope, resilience and beauty in a time of war and uncertainty. We are wishing her peace and harmony #StandwithUkraine.
