Olesja Hännikäinen

Olesja is a Finnish illustrator, with a passion for haute couture fashion. Her illustrations tend to feature models drawn from waist up, and in a style devised with the accentuation of eyes in mind. She combines techniques such as ink, acrylic, gouache, to depict the contrasts of black and white stripes, whilst also venturing into other colours, such as pinks and purples. Olesja exhibits in Helsinki, where she lives and works.
