OIL PAINTINGS

Still life painter and artist, Olga Antonova has built an international reputation with major exhibitions in Europe as well as the States. The Russian-born painter, trained at the prestigious Repin Painting Institute, has enchanted art collectors with her finely-rendered yet whimsically romantic still lifes and self portraits. Like the great European painters of the early 18th century, Antonova has the gift of taking ordinary subjects from everyday life and elevating them to the level of high art. Using simple compositions and monumental scale, she presents her subjects with loving care and romantic vision, enhancing and complimenting them with decorative borders that imbue them with a heroic grandeur.
