Ukranian-born Olga Listunova studied art and fashion in several different European countries before starting her current education at Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania. Due to her multi-faceted education and different sources of creating, she sees herself as more than just an illustrator, despite it being her biggest passion. In her illustrations she tries to reflect what surrounds her and links them very closely with her fashion designs. Inspired by the war in Ukraine, her graduate collection and inspirational illustrations epitomise a sense of unresolved anxiety.
Olga has created original artwork for DASH’s upcoming Autumn / Winter 2014 edition, scheduled for release in September.
