WHO
Ola Volo is from Kazakhstan but now Canadian based in Montreal. She studied at the Emily Carr University (Vancouver) where she got her BFA. She is now an recognized illustrator and muralist with her unique style, a mix of history and folklore with animals and people.
She has done more than thirty murals in North America including Los Angeles, Monterrey, Miami, Vancouver...and now Montreal. In fact, two in Montreal as she participated at 2019 Mural Festival, you can see the evolution of this mural from Street Art #175 to Street Art #182.
"The idea for the mural is about the Mile End, the creators, the entrepreneurs and the artists who make this neighborhood alive. The image will represent a woman with a bird cage, to symbolize freedom and free spirit. Several elements will recall different cultures of the Mile-End." - Ola Volo (source - French)
For 2019 Mural Festival (Street Art #180)
WHEN
- 2019.
