Painting in oil, Olivia Di Gregorio’s imagery reflects multi-states of change and isolation. Her experiences with diaspora as a biracial Canadian, and as a caretaker for those who’ve been physically ill guide her attempts to express wished-for moments of escapism within ethereal planes. Integrating moments of hardship and elements of lingering dangers, Olivia’s paintings allude to the hidden realities within the environment that will shape the subject. Juxtaposing innocence with the chaotic nature of the deconstruction of self as a part of evolvement, we see Di Gregorio’s work depict moments of catastrophe causing the bloom derived from a seed of chaos.
