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

♞ The painting Knight's Move connects the world of strategic thinking with timeless aesthetics. In soft tones of white, blue and beige, with a light textured background, a silent duel takes place between chess pieces - carefully positioned on the stage, where each move can decide the fate of the game.
The center of the composition is dominated by a large white horse, whose silhouette symbolizes not only the key role of the chess knight, but also freedom of movement, dynamism and nobility. It is not just a figure - it is a metaphor for strategic thinking, courage and an unpredictable master move.
The finely dispersed, foamy and ethereal background gives the painting a dreamlike atmosphere, while the contrast of the white and black chess army suggests the eternal struggle between opposites - light and shadow, intuition and logic, risk and certainty.
This painting is not only a work of art, but also a philosophical reflection of life - every decision is a move on the chessboard of fate.
