Every childhood has its own blueprint of memories. Some memories are stored. Some memories vanish. Some memories are kept alive through the word; some, through music or painting.
Olgas childhood has inspired her to record her memories through paintings. Her canvases are filled with scenes of Siberias snowy landscapes, village life nestled by birch trees, forests, lakes, and above all, her admiration for divine beauty and the infinite wisdom of Mother Nature.
