Olga Simonova Biography

Olga studied under the legendary theatre set designer Professor Eduard Kochergin, and followed in his footsteps, becoming a successful set designer working on many theatre productions.
 
Her easel painting style is also very individual and special.  She has been influenced by Kandinsky in particular, but she also has a reverence for the ancient iconic tradition.

Her work is made by painting oil on a thick card which she then inscribes with intricate patterns and often embellishes with gold leaf.
