Cupid's Goblet by Jean Baptiste Robie Painting

Olga Begisheva K. is a contemporary artist whose work is distinguished by vivid self-expression and remarkable versatility of style. For many years her name remained little known to the public, but true recognition came after the age of fifty. She demonstrates mastery across a wide spectrum of artistic movements — from Impressionism and the Flemish school to classical and abstract painting. This broad range of creative exploration has earned her a reputation as a multifaceted artist. A special place in her oeuvre is occupied by the mysterious technique of sfumato, pioneered by Leonardo da Vinci. Following in the spirit of the great master, Olga Begisheva approaches this technique on multiple levels — from the study of historical sources to experimental practice in her own studio — creating original interpretations and bringing new resonance to sfumato in contemporary art. Today, Olga Begisheva’s works are part of private collections worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Japan, Australia, Latvia, and beyond. Her name is now firmly associated with depth of artistic inquiry and a constant drive for growth, making her work an important contribution to the landscape of contemporary art.
