Olga Brink

Olga Brink was born in Belarus, Minsk. Since 2015 she has lived in Sweden with her family.

Olga always liked to draw. When she was 11 years old, she began studying at the State Gymnasium-College of Arts. After school, she studied graphics at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts. The time spent studying greatly influenced the artist’s creativity. At this time, she closely communicated with teachers, famous masters of their craft, and young artists, her peers. After completing her studies, the artist made lithographs in limited editions and took part in graphic biennales/triennales in Poland, Finland and Japan. She also did illustrations for children's books.

Olga works in different styles and mediums, but now she is more focused on watercolor painting. Her artworks contain many motifs of nature, flowers, animals and portraits of people. The artist loves when there is a lot of air and water. Bright and open colors are what she really likes. She remains devoted to the realistic style, but gives it something of her own, adds individuality. There are no rules in watercolor, the painter believes, artists can experiment to achieve special, unique effects.The painter says: "Watercolor is an amazing medium, you can constantly grow and develop in it over many years, which is why it is so exciting for me".
