My name is Olesea. I’m 32 years old. I’m an incurable optimist and I absolutely love humanity. I want everybody to be happy !
I love seeing smiling faces, I love hearing laughter, I love laughing. I love the sea’s sounds and the way it reflects the sky. Before all things were, there was a Point. From the initial act of putting pencil or compass point to paper each act of geometry is charged with meaning…
My Passion has begun with a Point… a Dot….and bloomed into hundreds of thousands of points. For me, painting mandalas has a sacred and spiritual meaning and also heals my soul. The emotions connect us to our Soul. Let’s express ourselves!!! :)
