Artistic Background and Style

Olga Brink has an extensive academic foundation in art:

Education:

She studied for thirteen years in Belarus, first at the Belarusian Art Gymnasium (1986–1993) and then at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts (1993–1999), where she studied graphics.

Medium:

While she has worked with various mediums, she currently focuses on watercolor painting. She describes the medium as the most difficult but also the most beautiful, valued for its independence and unpredictability.

Style:

Her style is described as Romantic Realism, which fuses technical precision with an emotional atmosphere, incorporating influences from Impressionism and Expressionism.

Technique:

She demonstrates a refined command of watercolor, utilizing its inherent transparency and skillfully layering the color to build depth and texture without losing luminosity.
