Olga Studio - About

Born in Moscow, Russia, Olga Baby followed her father's footsteps in pursuit of a career in journalism and further studied: Japanese Art, Buddhist History, Ikebana Philosophy and Bonsai Tree making. She has been invited to make numerous TV appearances, in Moscow, with regards to Bonsai work presentations.

Olga moved to London in 1991, where she studied: Art, Graphic design, print making, and ceramics at the Kensington & Chelsea College. She also studied English History and became a City of London Guide. For a number of years Olga exhibited her Japanese work at the "Aquarelle" Gallery in London, and since then she has mainly focused on developing her career as a professional artist.

"My hands are guided by a divine force, and I think that those are the meanings my lines and strokes have taken on"

Olga's Art work is whimsical, and mystically inspired. Her drawings reflect the artist's vivid imagination, and have an immediate decorative appeal. Olga states, "my work is strongly influenced by my travel experiences, which have been vast". Indeed Olga has travelled all over the world!

Japanese Art appears to have had a great influence on Olga's work. Evidence of this can be found in the simplicity of the design and her various brush strokes. Olga's work is a beautiful blend between what is imaginary and what is real. Her work has been exhibited in the West Indies, St. Petersburg's "Agora" Gallery, New York, and throughout the summer of 2006, at The Royal Academy of Art, London.

"I try to make a difference from painting to painting, and will take on private commissions when the subject matter fascinates me"

Frequently involved in Charity Fund Raising to benefit children everywhere, Olga exhibited her Art Work on a private show for the "Linkachild Foundation" in October 2007 ( for the disadvantage children of Nigeria). In 2008 Olga Baby put some of her exclusive work up for Auction on behalf of "Diema's Dream" Foundation, which is committed to help disabled Russian children. Furthermore, Olga worked with Fashion TV's VIPICA productions, as part of their creative team, illustrating VIPICA’s invitations for great events such as Shaggy MOBO Music Award. It is there that Olga"s Art Work proved to be a source of inspiration to up and coming London Fashion Designers. January and February of 2009, Olga Baby’s fabulous ‘Solo’ Exhibition at The SCREAM Gallery of London in Mayfair was a magnet to Contemporary Art Followers. March 2009, Olga’s exhibit sells at a Charity Event for the Afro Caribbean Leukemia Trust of which Sarah, Duchess of York is a Patron. In April, 2009 an exciting breakthrough for Olga took place in the form of a Film Animation Promotional Video created by none other than Graphic Designer Mika Masuda exclusively for Olga’s Art Work show at The Movida Night Club in London. Olga also worked in close collaboration with Fashion Designer Manjit Deu for the introduction of his spectacular dress creation for the Cannes Festival. In June 2009 Olga’s beautiful drawing, 'The Lion', was used by FTV for their event at 'The Lion Festival' in the South of France.
