Russian
painter Olga Suvorova is internationally known for her brilliant
reinterpretations of English Pre-Rafaelite art, described by critic
Viktoriya Syslova as "amazingly modern in their exquisite
theatricality." Both exuberant and philosophical in mood, her richly
detailed worlds depict people who are somehow familiar to us, even in
their extravagant costumes.
In this first-person account, accompanied by over 150 images of her
colorful paintings, Suvorova describes her background, early
influences, and career spanning from the 1970s to today. Mysterious
cats, faithful dogs, ravishing birds, and beautiful flowers play
supporting roles in her paintings. A
revel of life, light, and energy, Suvorova's regal, Renaissance-style
art is universally loved because it offers a fresh take on a genre that
still has wide popular appeal.
