*Perversely, my brain keeps correcting that to “The girl with colitis goes by.”

The paintings of Georgian artist Olga Zelinskaya caught my eye when I was wandering around the internet one night looking for interesting portraits of women. I was absolutely stopped dead by her modern take on Klimt-like use of geometrics and patterns. There’s something very Art Nouveau about her representations of women, all who seem regal and powerful while retaining their femininity.

I wasn’t able to find out very much about the artist, but I’m definitely going to keep my eye out for more of her work!
