Olga Sokolova

I was born in Moscow on November 23, 1963,and now I live and work in Moscow. I draw from early childhood-in albums and in the fields of books, on Wallpaper and on frozen glasses, on furniture and on dishes, experiencing the delight of mixing colors, of a possible variety of subjects, of the creative flight, surprised by the beauty of fairy tales, legends, songs, costumes, ornaments and writing letters.
Over time, my hand - drawn lubok turned into picturesque canvases-bright, colorful, with a lot of scenes, details and texts. The subjects that interest me are all connected with the history of holidays in Russia and not only folk, but also secular. For many years I studied and depicted Yuletide fun, wedding customs, calendar holidays of Heathen and Christian Russia.
Now I'm interested in the culture of the gallant 18th century-ranging from the time of Peter The Great to the reign of Catherine the Great. This is the birth of the Russian theater, its relationship with the Italian Comedy Del Arte, the history of secular entertainment -I create pictures about fireworks, balls, masquerades, gardens and parks of the luxurious era.
I use the following technique of painting-canvas, acrylic, graphics pen. I love to decorate my paintings ...
