Ola Volo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ola Volo is a Kazakh Canadian artist,[1] best known as a public muralist.[2] Her style blends aspects of Eastern European folk art with a focus on pattern and narrative to depict fantasy scenes.[3]

Born in Kazakhstan, she moved to Canada with her family at age 10, and studied art at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.[1]

Her work has included neighbourhood murals and corporate commissioned work in Vancouver,[1] the Mackey Building in Sudbury as part of the 2016 Up Here Festival,[4] and "Walla Volo" in Montreal's Mile End neighbourhood, the largest mural in Canada painted by a woman.[5]

She designed the cover art for Matt Mays' album Once Upon a Hell of a Time,[6] and is the subject of the album's song "Ola Volo".[7]
