Giveaway: Limited edition cat art from Ola Liola

Posted by Ingrid

Ola Liola cat print

I can’t recall where on my online travels I first saw the art of Ola Liola, but her stunning prints definitely made an impression.

Ola Liola was born in the Ukraine and grew up surrounded by incredible majestic nature. When she was 16, she moved to Israel with her family, where she studied design at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. She is a freelance illustrator and fashion accessory designer. Working in fashion drove her to create through questions. How could emotion be expressed with color? How could thoughts, feelings or special events be relayed through visual expression?

Her images of animals emerged as a result of these questions. The illustrations are hand drawn and scanned in high resolution. She uses  water colors and ink, and occasionally black pen lines.

For more of Ola Liola’s stunning artwork, and to purchase, please visit her Etsy shop and her website.

    I’d choose the Lacey twins print for the cat room of our house. Its needs some feline art to bring it together.

  2. sharon says:

    I would absolutely love to win one of these stunning pictures. I love #17 sleepy dandelion.

  3. ruth says:

    Wow how pretty!!!

    I think I have a couple Yule presents in the bag.

    For me..I like “cozy & curious ”

    Ruth

  4. Cathy Porter says:

    I’d love to win any of these so long as there’s cat in the art.

  5. You are right — her art IS absolutely stunning!! Very reasonably priced, too.

    I loved them all, including the birds and wolf, but if I win I would choose #16 Blue Cat.

  6. Natalie says:

    I’d love to win the one with the two orange cats. Sitting side by side with flowers. I enjoy and appreciate beautiful works of art. Particuarly with cats.

  7. Tracy Johnson says:

    I love the brilliant colors of all of Ola’s work..I am a cat lover and was introduced to Ola’s work on Facebook..Ola’s artwork would make a fantastic tattoo..I would love to the win the print Sunset..wonderful colors plus its a cat

  8. Ulla says:

    My favourite is the Sleepy Dandelion. Those cats are just like ours :)

  9. Jeanne says:

    I would choose the Lacey twins as well. The cats almost seem to be wearing Scandinavian sweaters! And I have a soft spot for orange tabbies. . . I’ve had two, Rupert and Max, who were near and dear to my heart.

    The designs remind me of the Ukrainian Easter eggs. Her work is beautiful and the prices more than reasonable.

  10. NewGrayMare says:

    Cat Face! That cat looks so much like my baby; the blue eyes are so entrancing. I’m moving to a new house next week and am completely re-doing my home decor style. This print would be astounding in Misty’s room.

  11. Gail says:

    I love the Sunset cat! The work is beautiful!

  12. Marissa says:

    I want to win the Sleepy Dandelion print because my walls are boring and bare. Sleeping cats are the cutest!

  13. thepricklypinecone says:

    I would love Sunset cat. I would love to win as I obviously love cats and my walls have no art, this would certainly help create a beautiful room.

  14. Leah Tedesco says:

    I love cats and this art is gorgeous. I would choose Sunset Cat.

  15. oooh, we can’t decide between Sunset & Sleepy Dandelion! We’ll have to think about that one….*thinking* okay – Sleepy Dandelion wins, because it reminds mommy of Faraday when he was a baby!

  16. Jess says:

    I absolutely love “Harvest Owl”. It would be great to win because I have a perfect blank spot on my wall that it would brighten up.

  17. shannon Heitt says:

    I would love to win because they have such vibrant colors and would go great in any room of my house..even the bathroom! so beautiful. i would be honored to hang http://www.etsy.com/listing/66994015/16-blue-cat-buy-2-prints-and-get-1-free
    on my wall

  18. Stephanie says:

    I would love to have the Sunset Cat print, it would go wonderfully with the decor and atmosphere of my bedroom.

  19. Oh, such beautiful artwork. It’s hard to choose, but I think the Lacy Twins. They would hang on the wall to brighten the view when I sit at the computer.

  20. Melissa Wetterow says:

    Would love to win one if the fabulous pieces. I like the blue cat! I just redid my guest bathroom & in blue & cream 7 am still looking for some artwork to go in there!

  21. Jessica says:

    I love all of them! And I love that there’s bunny and bird pieces as well. My favorite cat piece would have to be the Lacy Twins. Beautiful!

  22. Nancy says:

    Love her work!! It would be purr-fect in our house

  23. Shannon says:

    I would be honored to add any one of these to my collection!

  24. Deb Robichaud says:

    Beautiful art!
    I would love to win Blue Cat :) We need a beautiful piece of artwork for our living room wall. This would be perfect! :)
    Thanks for a great contest!

  25. Janet says:

    Such beautiful work! I would probably ask for Sunset Cat as the prize and would have to buy 16 and 18 to go with her! What talent.

  26. Celeste says:

    I have been rescuing cats for as long as I can remember, I have 13 but I still pick up strays and hurt animals and find good homes for them, always requiring spaying and neutering that I will gladly get done if someone cant afford it. I am by far a cat person!…As well as other animals. If I win a print I would prefer the first one listed, or the second…but if I got the third I would not be unhappy :)

  27. Laurie VanGorden says:

    I just love the art work! If I had to choose it would be number 2!

  28. Debbie D says:

    Wow! Any of the prints shown are gorgeous! I’m rather fond of Lacy Cat, but all of them are beautiful!

  29. I would love to win the print of the 2 sleeping cats. They remind me of my mom’s 2 cats that slept on her bed during the time she was dying of breast cancer. They were such a calming influence to us caring for mom and more importantly to mom during her process of dying.

  30. Celeste says:

    I am commenting again, I just showed these to my daughter and this is the artist that she bough wonderful pictures from for Christmas 2 years ago (I knew they looked familiar, I have a bear, fox and an owl) there is such detail and beauty in them. Good luck!!

  31. Kathy Bergeron says:

    They are all absolutely lovely, but I like the orange colored one pictured above the best. It would look so nice in the new home we are moving into in about 16 months along with all of our kitties!

    Thank you!

  32. Carly says:

    Her work is stunning! I love all of the animal subjects she chose, but cats reign supreme in our house, so I would have to say Blue Cat is my favorite!

  33. Dru Jackson says:

    Hello!
    It is really hard to choose but I think that I would choose the 18 cozy and curious print. I work in a feline-only veterinary hospital and I would love to have one of these framed in the front lobby!

    Thank you!
    Dru Jackson

  34. kimberli says:

    These prints are absolutely beautiful. Love the colors. My favorite is Sunset, the pink w/blue eyes is stunning. I would love to have this!
    Thanks for the drawing!!!

  35. Erica Wilmer says:

    I love the “Sunset cat” print…but there is also something about the way the “Cozy & Curious” cat tilts her head that I just love. So I think I would have to go with that one. Anyways…I love the color combos in these pieces…so alive! Thanks for the chance to win!

  36. Sue says:

    I like many of the prints, but first choice would be the Sunset Cat followed by #16-Blue Cat, then #17 with the Sleepy Dandelion Cat family and finally #42 the Owl. I too was involved in cat rescue and currently have 12 indoors and 2 outside ferals…I am always looking for that painting/drawing/print that “captures” the cat…

  37. This is gorgeous work — I will have to think long & hard about which one I want if I were to win!

  38. Louise says:

    Ooh – they’re all very purr-ty!

  39. Lois Curcio says:

    They are all so beautiful! The Sunset Cat or the Twins are wonderful! Our 1st cat was an orange tabby named Amber! Mario is a black & tan tabby & we have 2 calicos. I would love any of her creations!

    Thanks,
    Lois

  40. Mary Prevost says:

    WOW, WOW…and just WOW !!! (Sleepy Dandelion – cat family is my fav :)

  41. I would love love to win one of the art pieces and would proudly display it in my home! I will also write about the kitty art on Examiner.com where I am an Entertainment and Family examiner. Thanks very kindly for the consideration. Will share this also on Facebook. My kitty is nearly ten-years-old, and his name is Cheeto. This week, he won the Cat vs. Dog contest on the WCIU website! He was rescued from a dumpster late 2002. I have had him for nearly eighteen months, truly the best time of my life. He is my first kitty as an adult and I strongly encourage all to adopt older kitties when they can!!! Thanks very much for this consideration.

  42. [...] Congratulations, NewGrayMare! You’re the winner of a limited edition cat print from Ola Liola. [...]
