Vladimir Vopilin (artistic name: Olan Wolf) was born and raised in the Soviet Union. He is an Artist and Founder of Olan Wolf Art Gallery. He was working in many spheres trying to make a living. He considered art as his internal passion, which inspired him to create dreams and hope, but never as a source for living. But the artist didn’t give up. Vladimir was creating his pieces of art in his free time and kept them for personal use.[1]
Career[edit]
Having gained authority in the post-Soviet art market, Vladimir Vopilin is actively developing his personal brand “Olan Wolf “in the European, Asian, Middle East, and American art markets. Olan Wolf is a famous artist in the UAE, displaying his works in different venues and art exhibitions in Dubai. A real sensation was made in the New Jersey MoRa Museum of contemporary art through his solo exhibition “Worlds” in 2020. The year 2021 was a real breakthrough for the talented artist. Vladimir's work was presented at the QATAR International Art Festival, which was attended by 300 of the best artists from 65 countries. Also, Vladimir's work was a resounding success at the Prima Biennale d'arte contemporanea della Murgia in Italy. The final chords were the participation of the artist in the international project Art of the World, which took place in Miami, and the victory in the nomination "Contribution to the NFT/digital art" for his contribution to the development of contemporary art as part of the "Person of the Year 2021" award.[2]
Later Olan Wolf got another award: “ Unique new contemporary approaches in art” Louvre Abu Dhabi (UAE) – competition: “Louver Abu Dhabi Art Here Exhibition 2021, The Richard Mille Art Prize”, 2021-2022.[3]
In 2022 Olan Wolf was invited to display his solo exhibition “Imagination” together with fashion designers at Boccara ART Gallery in Palm Beach, USA. Olan’s exhibition combined paintings: oil on canvas with paintings on fabrics, and modern contemporary models presented Olan’s paintings on their dresses as part of the whole exhibition.[4]
Another successful Olan exhibition was held in Dubai (UAE) Mercure Barsha Hotel in May 2021.[5]
Joy and happiness run into his veins. Olan Wolf is full of positive energy and curious about everything. But Vladimir Vopilin has a real soul of an artist and he doesn’t observe the world as we do. His mind is attracted by remarkable events, emotions, or nature and he paints what he feels. His feelings are transposed into a fantasy world where reality explodes into each detail in vibrant colors or a play of light and shade. Without attending any art class, Vladimir Vopilin (Olan Wolf) has a real innate impressive technique, and his talent arises in each of his artworks. Inspired by Salvatore Dali, his draftsmanship is precise and reveals striking and bizarre images to open an ocean of thoughts.[6]
