Olga was born in a small Siberian village, where her childhood was surrounded by endless forests, rivers, and starry skies. Her family was exiled there during the Russian Revolution, and in that distant place, far from the cities, she first discovered the quiet beauty of the world—a beauty she longed to capture in art.
From a young age, Olga found ways to paint with whatever she had: pieces of wood, cardboard, and even charcoal from the stove, as art supplies were beyond her reach. For her, painting was never just a hobby; it was a way to speak with God and the world.
In 2000, Olga made aliyah to Israel. She settled in the northern part of the country, where the green hills and valleys reminded her of the landscapes of her childhood.
For the past 25 years, Olga has devoted herself to capturing the spirit of Israel’s landscapes, filled with light and deep spiritual meaning.
During the recent wars, and despite the evacuation and the bombings, Olga couldn’t abandon her homeland and continued creating in her home studio.
In 2000, Olga made aliyah to Israel. She settled in the northern part of the country, where the green hills and valleys reminded her of the landscapes of her childhood. After a period of 10 years without creating art and focusing on raising her daughter, it was there, surrounded by northern Galilee beauty, that she returned to her true calling — painting — and never put down her brushes again.
For the past 25 years, Olga has devoted herself to capturing the spirit of Israel’s landscapes, filled with light, silence, and deep spiritual meaning.
Over the years, Olga exhibited her work in many galleries.
In 2014, Olga founded her own art studio in northern Israel and began teaching as well.
Olga paints with oil colors, combining palette knifes and brushes techniques.
The subject of her paintings is a reflection of her love for the Land of Israel—its peace, beauty, and the quiet connection it brings between the soul and the Divine.
