Olga Samar

Painting saved me once many years ago in difficult times. Since then it's been with me every day of my life.
On the day of personal crisis, when I felt that nothing could help me to resolve different difficult issues, the day I had nobody to talk to about my frustration, something happened. I took a pan into my hand and started drawing. I needed to draw more and more. Next day I went to the art store and spent my last money on art supplies. I started painting... I felt amazing, I felt inspired. I felt like I’m doing what I’m supposed to do in my life.
Some time after I quit my office job and dedicated all my time to my mission, being an artist. I spent thousands of hours studying painting and drawing from famous Ukrainian painters. My effort and dedication were rewarded in personal exhibitions, international and Ukrainian art symposiums. Now I’m teaching painting but do not stop learning. I know that on my way to the Dream...

I was born in 1978 in Kyiv region.
