The Nautilus is also known as the "living fossil", because this living organism underwent seemingly no change in the last 500 million years. That is not to say that nautiluses have frozen in time, however: in fact, some scientists believe that nautiluses evolve faster than the human species - yet the "upgrades" stay concealed by the static form of the creature's shell. After all, why change what is already perfect?

For my Nautilus series, I chose to work with oil pastels to stay as close to the paper as possible, manually filling its texture with pigment.

This work is shipped with a white wooden frame, ready to be hung on the wall. The dimensions of the framed drawing are: 22.8 x 22.8 cm (or 9 x 9 inches), without the frame: 20 x 20 cm. If you choose to reframe the Nautilus, take care not to smudge the surface when taking the drawing out of the frame.

Olga (b. 1987) is a Russian-born, France-based artist working primarily in the magic realism genre.

Olga has always gravitated towards the paint brush, but had built careers in theoretical physics and artificial intelligence prior to finally committing to the arts. These previous endeavours had her spend a near decade on the East coast of the United States, a summer in Santiago de Chile, and several years in Germany, before moving to Paris for a researcher position at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in 2016.

Once in Paris, Olga took advantage of the city’s vibrant art scene and the proximity to some of the world’s best museums. Over the next few years, she used her after-work time to sketch, draw, and paint, while taking formal art classes to improve her technique.

These days Olga lives and paints in her apartment in Paris XIII, which she is fortunate to share with a tough Baltimorean cat and a very spoiled whippet.
