Ola Volo is a Canadian mural artist and illustrator from Kazakhstan with a distinctive style drawn from folklore, multiculturalism, and female identity. Her intricate works bring animals, people, architecture, and nature together to articulate diverse stories rich with symbolism and elaborate forms. Volo creates complex narratives that foreground the subtleties of human nature while celebrating the little surprises of everyday life. 

Volo will be producing the most immersive mural that the Buffalo AKG Art Museum's Public Art Initiative has ever commissioned. The Midnight Garden will span three neighboring buildings along Hertel Avenue, with The Monocle at 1235 Hertel as the central anchor. Her imagery will spill over onto the adjacent buildings, creating an enveloping, immersive, and mesmerizing experience.
