Black Ibis (2021) Painting by Olga Ivanova

I was born and live in Russia, Yekaterinburg. My first profession was philologist and I taught Russian language and literature in gymnasium. Then I was educated as a sociocultural manager and worked for many years in a travel company. More than five years ago, my deepest passion for art brought me to the first master - classes full of remarkable painters, also drove me to the course of the Ural State University of Architecture and Art. Since 2016 I have actively participating in a broad number of local, regional and national exhibitions and contests. Since 2020 I am an full-time artist. I am preparing works for a solo exhibition. Inspiring by whole world, things which I can see, hear, comprehend and realize. I implement entire alloy made up of emotions and contemplations transferring it to color, shape and material. This is how art works.
