The Inspiration behind
OLGA BEGISHEVA K. ART

Olga Begisheva K. painting flowers in the Dutch style

Here my jorney began

“About 18 years ago, when my nuclear medicine career came to an abrupt end due to

the discovery of breast cancer, I suddenly realized: life is too short. The moment has come to start doing what you have dreamed of all your life - to become an artist. Since then, I wake up every day absolutely happy, because I know that my paints and my paintings are waiting for me in my small workshop. I paint everything: landscapes, flowers, portraits, and abstract paintings. By and large, it doesn’t matter to me what to paint, I just take a brush, dip it in paint and start to soar! I always try to work in a good mood, invariably following the saying:

"Paint what you love, and love what you paint!" Since I am an artist, every day is too short for me. Therefore, I took up yoga, which helps me sleep much less and work without getting tired.
Today I am a full-time artist, and I am a very happy woman because art makes everybody happier. I sincerely wish that my paintings bring joy and happiness to everyone!”

Artist Biography

  

 

Interestingly, my journey as an artist has been profoundly shaped by my background in fundamental science. My initial career as a physicist ignited my fascination with color and its transformative nature under different lighting conditions. I became enamored with the optical phenomena of the sky throughout various seasons and times of day, which naturally led me to take up painting. 

Working as a scientist in diverse countries such as Russia, Spain, and Great Britain—each known for their vibrant color palettes—further inspired my creativity and deepened my passion for art. After graduating from the School of Old Masters in St. Petersburg, Russia, where I specialized in "TOP-painting," I transitioned into a professional artist. 

Today, my work spans various genres and styles, including impressionistic landscapes, abstract compositions, Dutch still life, portraits, and reproductions of Renaissance masterpieces. I perceive painting as akin to physics; both disciplines cultivate an appreciation for beauty, while my brushes and paints provide the means to express that beauty.
