Since childhood, Olga Nikitina got acquainted with art thanks to her mom, a musician and teacher of piano and violin. She graduated in interior design and went on designing aquariums. Later on, she tried scuba diving in Sri Lanka almost by accident. She was charmed by the underwater world and decided to become a scuba diving instructor. This gave her a new wave of inspiration which sailed with active travel and scuba diving. She was most impressed by Africa – contrasting, sometimes very wild, sometimes very developed, with the beautiful nature and rich wildlife. What she saw and what she experienced there made her take a brush in hand and paint her first work in a long time. She now draws her inspiration from the Red Sea in Egypt, where she moved. Every single time coming out of the water, she grows a ripe new picture in her head that she later captures on the canvas. She loves taking underwater photos, researching all the details, considering and admiring the colors and shapes. And this is how gradually the series of paintings “The Red Sea” was created.
