About Artist
Olga Beketova
Olga Beketova is a self-taught artist who brings light and colour to her paintings.
Grown up on a small volcanic peninsular washed by the Pacific ocean, Olga enjoyed and absorbed thousands of pristine nature colours.
Scattered childhood memories, the reflections, feelings and bright positive mood- that’s what her art talks about.
She uses mainly oils, mixed media and acrylic to create her content.
Having no classic education she feels free to create from her heart, to express her ideas in her own way.
“My art is a reflection of my life – positive and dynamic, simple and sincere. And I try to convey this in my artworks.”
Freedom, authenticity, bravery, sincerity and expression – that are her main values.
30+ collective and 1 personal exhibition (including Italy, UK, Turkey),
Art fair participation, charity auctions, art projects - that’s her way up today.
She helps, support and inspires other emerging artists, collaborates with brands and galleries.
Prize winner at many arts competition including RussianArtWeek, ArtGEO 2022.

I use a lot of positive energy and warm feelings when I’m painting. And I like to believe that my pieces carry these positive vibes to their new homes.
I was grown up in Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy, a small peninsula in the eastern point of Russia. And all my childhood I was surrounded by rich palette of natural colors from emerald green forests to turquoise blue Pacific ocean waves and fiery scarlet lingonberry.
My art is a reflection of my life – positive and dynamic, simple and sincere. And I try to convey this in my artworks.
I am hardly ever inspired by nature or some event, but most often by people – their beauty, emotions, reactions. And I am very often inspired by my colleagues’ artworks and their success.
I feel it’s just natural!
You can find my artworks in many private collections all over the world
