Olga Rybakova

I am a full-time artist, my professional interests are oil painting on canvas, but I am also
interested in experimenting with acrylics and mixed media. I am inspired by both
Impressionists and Modernists, as well as paintings by the old Flemish and Dutch masters.
Having started painting and drawing as an adult, I took a course at an Art School, then
studied at the art workshops of professional artists, and later studied and graduated as an
art therapist at the Drahomanov Pedagogical University (Kyiv) and at the Institute of
Psychology of Creativity (Moscow). Overall, I have studied Art for 10 years.
From 2017 to 2019, I was the Chairman of the Commonwealth of Russian-speaking Artists
in Bulgaria, which united artists from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Lithuania and Belarus.
During this time we have held 12 collective exhibitions in different cities of Bulgaria.
