Conception of art

Through her artwork, Olga Nikishina captivates the observer's gaze, drawing attention to each moment in life's temporary and distinct nature. She skillfully portrays the beauty and grace of the human body, the delicate transience of a blooming flower, and the breathtaking splendor of a sunset.

The author's favorite medium is watercolor, with its elusive mobility, transparency, fluidity, and rebellious character.
