Österreich Schuheflickersee (2018) Schilderij door Olga Milova

Olga Milova is a visual artist based in Germany. Originally from Dnipro, Ukraine, she combines her background in architecture with artistic training received through courses led by established masters to develop a personal style inspired by nature, music, medieval architecture, and Renaissance aesthetics.

In addition to her visual art practice, Olga is also a writer and illustrator. Her fairytale “The Lord of the Savannah” was first published in Dnipro in 2003 and later released in German: "Der Herr der Savanne" in Rome in 2024, both editions featuring her original illustrations.

She is a member of the "Eisenturm" Art Association in Mainz and actively participates in group exhibitions. One of her notable contributions was to the 2009 exhibition “Der hohe Dom zu Mainz” (The Great Cathedral of Mainz), where her watercolor “Mainzer Dom” was presented as part of the celebrations marking the cathedral’s 1000-year anniversary. The exhibition is archived on the cultural platform 75 Jahre Rheinland-Pfalz – 75 Geschichten, highlighting significant milestones in architecture, art, and regional history.

Olga’s work has received international recognition. Two of her watercolors, along with a short biography, were featured in Volume XI of International Contemporary Artists, published in New York in 2016. She also illustrated a children’s educational book published in Wiesbaden in 2008, which portrays rare animal species found in Germany, using vibrant watercolor techniques.

Artist Statement:

I create emotionally resonant and visually refined works inspired by the harmony and elegance of the natural world. My artistic language is shaped by the flowing lines of landscapes, the delicate beauty of flowers, the grace of the feminine form, and the quiet grandeur of medieval architecture. The castles and fortresses of the Middle Rhine region of Germany—where I currently live—often appear as poetic symbols in my work.

I work with a wide range of materials: acrylic, oil, watercolor, colored pencil, and textured mediums such as modeling paste, stones, sand, and gold leaf. I often combine these with fluid acrylic techniques to create surfaces rich in depth, light, and texture.

My goal is to create art that radiates a sense of calm, balance, and aesthetic clarity. I value beauty, elegance, and the subtle interplay between form and color. Music often accompanies my creative process, as do my quiet observations of nature and architecture. These influences shape my visual voice and guide my artistic decisions.

 Through my work, I invite the viewer into a space of stillness and reflection—where light and form offer a moment of peace, and beauty becomes a gentle, grounding presence.
