About Olga Tkachova
For me, painting is not just a pastime or a way of self-expression – it is a journey to another world, where I can freely create and explore the endless possibilities of visual expression. Each painting I create is a gateway to a reality filled with emotions, stories and harmony. Whether it is a world full of colors or a subtle play of black and white, it always resonates with the depth of feelings and thoughts.
I love experimenting with different techniques and forms. I combine two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements on one canvas, connecting classical and modern techniques and looking for original ways of expression. My main techniques include oil painting, watercolor and dry pastel. In addition to traditional painting, I also engage in botanical sculpture, which I create from foamiran and cold porcelain. These techniques allow me to transfer nature into art and capture the subtlety of every detail.
My paintings have been exhibited at international exhibitions and have found their place in the private collections of European collectors. Each exhibition is a unique opportunity for me to share my view of the world with others and establish a dialogue with the viewer. I believe that art can be a bridge between people, conveying thoughts, emotions and inspiration.
Every painting I create is a reflection of my inner world and the search for a balance between fantasy and reality. I like to be inspired by nature. In my work, I seek harmony between traditional and modern techniques, with each new experience enriching my artistic style and pushing me further.
I thank everyone who is inspired by my works, and I invite you on a journey to a world where colors, shapes and emotions create a unique story.About the Product
Chess symphony is a fascinating oil painting that combines chess symbolism with mystical elegance. On the dark field of strategic combat, a real horse rises, the materialized essence of movement, power and unpredictability. It is not just a piece - it is a living chess knight, breaking the rules, walking freely between the fortresses of power and the borders of fate.
Two indigo fortresses on the edges of the canvas symbolize the competing forces - tradition and change, past and future. Above them spreads a golden sky, the light of dawn or dusk - the moment when victory and defeat are decided.The colors of indigo and gold create a dramatic contrast between the cold of strategy and the warmth of enlightenment, between a rational plan and unpredictable intuition. The deep symbolism of this composition will appeal not only to chess lovers, but also to those who understand the art of tactics, the power of thought and the beauty of unexpected moves.
This painting belongs in the interior of those who appreciate not only luxury, but also philosophy, strategy, and timeless wisdom.
