Contemporary artist - OLAN WOLF (Vladimir Popilin) - began his work from early childhood, and actively started to paint at the age of 16.
Olan invites the viewer to dive into parallel worlds created with the help of color and gravity.
Olan Wolf chose abstraction and surrealism to reflect his ideas. His canvases are permeated with the theme of internal transformation and enlightenment of a person deeply immersed in consumer culture. It was to this philosophy that the artist"s spiritual searches led him, to which he devoted 15 years of his life.
The creative process of the artist begins with the disconnection of all senses from the outside world. After the author achieves a sense of balance and harmony, the real magic begins to happen on the canvas, subject to the true Laws of the Universe. Freezing in the most unimaginable abstractions, acrylic simultaneously reflects dynamics and calls for reflection, feeling, and dialogue.
Olan Wolf does not label his abilities by style therefore, he refers to his work as without borders just like we as humans can feel different emotions in a second, his artistic views are always changing and mixing. Perhaps, that is why Olan Wolf’s paintings include a wide range of styles. The inability to trace one clear style of the artist is his signature.
