Beauty, Fragility and Motion
Olga is a Russian born artist, who sells her watercolor, acrylic and oil paintings from Scottsdale, Arizona. Olga has a distinct impressionist style. She uses of ribbons of color to express beauty, fragility and motion. Look at the works to the right and you can see the planes of color that run through her works , whether they be the ruffles of a blouse, strands of hair, long flowing dresses, or the limbs of a tree.

Olga expresses herself using different media such as oil, pastel, and watercolors. Combinations of these different techniques allow her to most easily express her feelings.  Although she does not like to label things, one aspect of her style ranges on expressionism.  She uses watercolors to express her vision of the fragility and beauty of an emotional world, its colors and eternal motion. Expressionist art can be seen in the African Beauty, The Beauty of Dancing,
Femininity, and Stories on Paper and Canvas Art Galleries.

Another aspect of Olga's style is more surreal. Here boughs of a tree morph into anyone who ever rested in its shade, and flames truly dance as a ring of fiery figures. The works in the Play on Imagination Art Gallery are mainly surreal modern art.

Olga's favorite subject matter include Africa, ballet dancers, cowgirls, elegant ladies with long flowing dresses, greek mythology, flamenco dancers, and nudes.

Our emotional world overflows with reflections coming from real life.  That might be the motion of a wind, the beauty and movement of dance, the recollection of an historical legend or the silhouette of an old tree, all reflected as living creatures in the artist’s mind.  As soon as she begins transferring these images to watercolor paper they gain a degree of independence from her ...they develop a life of their own like images on photographic paper.  They may even argue with her views during this process… So, what you see as a painting is a joint effort, a long lasting discussion between her and reflections by the world, expressed in lines and colors.
