Olga Begisheva K. was born in a remote Russian village. From an early age, she immediately showed an interest in art; her first landscapes were the subject of interest for teachers at school. However, poverty forced Olga to put aside her dreams of becoming an artist. Olga graduated from the institute with a degree in physics, worked as a teacher for many years, but her love for painting did not disappear: at night, she painted trays, which in Russia is traditionally called gestural floristry. During the perestroika years, Olga and her family moved to Spain. It was Spain with its colorful natural wealth and endless seascapes that gave a powerful impetus to the development of art. And again, due to the need to support two children and a catastrophic lack of time, there was no opportunity to pursue a new career as an artist. Thus Olga learned to make reproductions of some old masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Ivan Aivazovsky, Wassily Kandinsky etc., many of which brought her popularity as a professional copyist artist. Since moving to the UK, Olga Begisheva K. has worked as a freelance self-taught artist, holding several solo exhibitions in the Cardiff area. She has studied many other classical styles including Dutch floral still life. She is the owner of an online art gallery Facebook Instagram
