Petrova Olga

I work and live in Saint - Petersburg. Finished "Nevsky Institute of language and culture."
I am an artist self taught Amateur artist. With the painting and the artist I met in 5 years.
My father worked in the artist's Studio at the house of culture of Stavropol region, in V. Mar. Of his works are most memorable for me (Motherland) its scale - height of 4 meters. This work he performed for the school №5.
The most vivid memory from childhood that is associated with this painting when I escaped from the garden to the father. My garden was next to the workshop ( this is a basement room in the Palace of culture). As I remember, my dad took me back to the garden and gave me a sheet of paper and a pencil. While in the garden there was panic what happened to the child, I painted my first painting. After that I painted wherever possible. In school I used to draw well, for the class made out wall Newspapers, posters, etc.
As I told my friend this funny story about how he escaped from the garden and what we have in the family of artists self-taught, my father paints and his father painted. In a few days she gave me oil paints and a small canvas. Since that time, I started my career.
As time was lost and it was not possible to enroll in the faculty of fine arts. I began to study by himself. Visit exhibitions, studying literature, studying the works of famous artists. Attend courses in painting and took lessons in academic drawing. Special thanks to my teacher Igor Korkinskom.
