ART ALERT: The Photography & Paintings of Olga Filatova

I meet many people when working on movie and tv sets but few have been as interesting as Olga Filatova who I met while working on Insurgent. Since then, we worked on a few other productions together which is how I learned of the amazing talent that is Olga. She was scrolling through her tablet (one her websites) when she introduced me to her art work. I was blown away.

Olga was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and was trained as a dancer, which explains why she is so graceful. It wasn't until 2007 and 2011 that she discovered her passion for painting and photography. Her paintings of dogs, horses and lions are dynamic and expressive. Her painterly approach speaks to you with every brush stroke. Olga takes that unique vision and sensibility with her photographic images. She captures human interaction and emotion successfully and genuinely and her landscapes look like paintings. Olga believes we spend are lives learning. About her work, she says, "I am learning every day, every minute, every second. I want to do the best as I can to make people happy and to make them feel something about my work."

"On my way to perfection with love to you... " Olga Filatova.

Saint Laurent's Hedi Slimane

has embraced some of music's most bad ass rockers as his muses for Pre Fall 2013.

Marylin Manson

sporting a black leather jacket and

Courtney Love

dragging her trashy self on the floor, as usual, make for a very edgy ad campaign. Other featured rollers are

Kim Gordon

and

Ariel Pink.

I kind of like it. There's something so cool and so wrong at the same time that really works for me. Perhaps it's the juxtaposition of controversy and scandal representing a label known for it's luxury and exclusivity. 

What do you think?
