About Olha Malko

Hello!

   I'm an artist from Ukraine. I work in watercolor mostly but also in oil and mixed media using ink and gouache. No doubt my passion is watercolor because it is alive as a life. Moreover watercolor is perfect for catching a moment of fleeting life.

   I work in an impressionistic and realistic style mainly. My artworks depict landscapes of my motherland and Ukrainian cityscapes, flowers and animals, interior and people. The world around me seems to me nice and interesting and I want to tell everyone about it with the help of my artworks.

   I've never counted my artworks. I painted not only many original watercolor and oil pictures, but also created hundreds of digital designs on transparent background for printing, illustrated a few books for kids. I have had some solo exhibitions as well. Sometimes I like to take part in contests. It gives me new ideas and lots of inspiration.

   I'm not an artist by my education – it’s a vocation. I left my job in pharmacy many years ago for my hobby. And now painting is the love of my life. Life is art, art being happy. I'm happy with the ability to paint so wonderful world and I am so pleased to share my art with you.
