Olya (Moshi) Obukhova

 artist from Russia who is working in different ink-painting

 techniques. She experiments to integrate Asian and

 European views on art, but mostly works with traditional

 Chinese materials like xuan paper, wood ink and Chinese

 brushes.

<I think xuan paper is incredibly amazing because it's so

 strong for such a thin material.>

Moshi has genuine interest to all of the materials making

technologies, different kinds of Asian art and art in

legendary artists from old times.
