Olga Suvorova: Venice Puzzle

Olga Suvorova: Venice Puzzle

Put on your finest for Olga Suvorova’s Venice. The artist’s lavish works center upon the commedia dell’arte, its characters and themes depicted in a signature style influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, Gustav Klimt, and traditional Russian icons. Her ornate costumes—their silks and velvets, jewels and embroideries—are often the stars of any scene, which she rounds out with musical instruments, flowers, and animals. The result is a lush tapestry, delicate in feeling but full of undeniably boisterous color.
