Because art belongs to everyone

An independent space to collect, create, and discuss - for people who care about art, and everyone gets to have an opinion.

Welcome to this relaxed virtual corner of the art world. My name is Ollie, and here I’m trying to build a place for like-minded people who have always loved art but somehow felt it wasn’t really for them. To start with, I’m sharing three parts of my journey: what I make, what I love (my collection), and what I’m learning as I go.

Who am I

The walls: my collection

I am a collector, and this is one of the walls in my living-room-slash-studio. My collection has grown rapidly over the past couple of years and now includes nearly 30 works, created mostly by Ukrainian artists whom I support as my way of contributing to the cultural renaissance unfolding in Ukraine right now.

Easel: my own work

Without first-hand experience of creating art, my quest would be incomplete. So I keep practicing and learning - here are some of the pieces I’m happy about.
