Olia Aver

Oil and Pastel Artist – Horses and other Animals, Villages, and Landscapes.
Based in Belgium.


Olia Aver is a passionate hobby artist whose work springs from a lifelong love of animals and the quiet poetry of rural life. Born with a deep affection for nature and horses, she followed that calling both professionally and artistically — studying animal nutrition and later exploring her creativity through fine art.

Olia paints in oil and draws in pastel, bringing life to horses, puppies, timeless landscapes, and lovingly reconstructed village scenes. Her greatest joy lies in painting old villages as they once were — nostalgic, detailed, and full of memory.

Though art is not her full-time profession, it is a profound and enduring part of her life — a place where science, history, and emotion meet on canvas.
