Olga Usova

I was born in St. Petersburg. Even as a child, my mother did not have time to buy pencils because I drew a lot ...And then I continued my hobby in college, where I drew clothes sketches and became a professional costume designer. I continued to study art and graphics at the University, where I illustrated books for works, studied the art of type and book graphics. Now I draw my inspiration from the beauty of the surrounding world and want to share it. Sketching has its own extraordinary philosophy. These are quick sketches of the here and now, you capture the moment and transfer it to paper with all the feelings, smells sounds, and emotions. The city and the world around you are always at hand. And you stop time! Sketching taught me to see the beauty of this world in the most inconspicuous things. I am also inspired by non-standard techniques such as encaustic oil pastels. For me art is not only a process, it is a pleasure. And I want to enjoy it with you.
