Olga Belova

Dr. Olga Belova — silk artist and founder of Sono Seta. She developed her own author’s technique of painting on pure silk without primer, allowing every brushstroke to become a luminous veil of light and shadow. Inspired by classical masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and by the fragile beauty of nature, she transforms silk into a timeless treasure.

Her works capture wildlife and nature with noble elegance — not as mere decoration, but as living symbols of memory, strength, and tenderness. Exhibited internationally in Egypt, Cyprus, France, and at World Art Dubai 2024, her paintings are now held in private collections in 18 countries.
