ABOUT THE ARTIST:
👩🎨Olympe Ramakrishna, a French-Indian visual artist, based in Bangalore, India.
Born in a small village in Normandy, northern France, into a family of artists, she grew up immersed in a rich creative environment that shaped her early artistic journey.
In Paris, she studied drawing and painting, honing her skills through live model sessions over seven years at the Beaux-Arts, the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, and the Atelier Artmedium. Her exploration of art also took her to London, where she studied life drawing at the Battersea Art Center.
As a female artist, Olympe Ramakrishna is dedicated to presenting women from a distinctly feminine perspective. Her work, often dreamlike and symbolic, explores the complexities of feminine identity, provoking thought and fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse experiences that shape it.
Olympe Ramakrishna’s dual Franco-Indian heritage lends a unique cultural richness to her art. Drawing inspiration from both European and Indian artistic traditions, her influences range from the Flemish Primitives, Ingres, Gauguin, and Le Douanier Rousseau to Mughal miniatures, Company paintings, and the iconic Amrita Sher-Gil.
Her artworks have been featured in both solo and group exhibitions in India and France, and are part of private collections across Europe, the United States, and India.
