Olga Tkachova

In my work, I capture the closeness between people, the dignity of animals, and the beauty of nature. I am particularly interested in moments that can tell a story without words—a touch, a glance, a gesture, or mutual closeness.

I work primarily with oil paints, watercolor, and dry pastels. I combine realistic details with bold colors, decorative elements, and distinctive compositions. The result is artwork that is not merely a depiction of a specific subject, but creates its own atmosphere and space for emotions.

A significant part of my work is the “Golden Africa” series, in which I explore the theme of the relationship between humans and animals. Repeating patterns, rich colors, and the closeness of the figures create the characteristic visual language of this series.

Another important theme is horses—their movement, energy, and natural elegance. I also create floral paintings in which I explore light, form, and the delicacy of natural details.

My paintings have won awards in international online exhibitions and competitions. In 2026, the paintings “Scarlet” and “Ntumo” won first prizes in the FAME FRAME gallery exhibitions “Red: Between Passion and Power” and “Contemporary Visions.” The painting “Amara” won the Gold Award in the “Gold & Emerald” exhibition at the Accent Gallery. In 2024, I was also awarded a Certificate of Artistic Merit from the La Pinacothèque Museum in Luxembourg.

In addition to painting, I create botanical sculptures from Foamiran. Working with volume, texture, and natural forms broadens my perception of nature and naturally influences my painting as well.

I hope that my works bring a sense of individuality to interiors while also offering a moment of pause—a space for one’s own memories, feelings, and stories.
