Криминальное чтиво (2023) Painting by Olga Shelkovaja

My path to becoming an artist was long: I was born in a small provincial town in the south of our huge country, where there were no educational institutions, and it was simply not possible to take me to a neighboring city. She spent all her pocket money on books about art and read them with rapture. Then, family, children... and completely different worries. And only at a conscious age, many years later, I was able to fulfill my childhood dream! She took private lessons from artists, graduated from art school and began to create.

For me, painting is meditation, I immerse myself in it and can spend hours without being distracted by worldly affairs.

In my works - collages, I pay tribute to the eternal and introduce elements of modernity.

When I work on faces, it seems to me that I recognize personality, character and touch a little of the soul. I always try to convey charisma and look.

My goal, as an artist, is to share beauty, decorate this world and introduce as many people as possible to what we see, and we see a little differently.
