About the artist
Born in Saint-Petersburg in 1966 into a family of talented
and respected artists. Olga is the representative of the dynasty of Suvorov artists, which includes the three generations of St Petersburg artists: Igor Suvorov, Natalia, and Olga’s daughter - Ekaterina.
Olga Suvorova's father, Igor Suvorov, was the Honored Artist of the RSFSR.
In 1998 Olga Suvorova graduated from Saint-Petersburg Academy of Arts named after Ilya Repin. She studied painting techniques and monumental composition at the studio of the famous artist Andrei
Mylnikov (1919–2012).
Although Olga Suvorova had influential parents and
teachers, it never stopped the artist from developing her original style – historical costume
portraits of personages in the style of various periods, such as the
Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo. Her work is reminiscent of the popular in the 20th
century Saint Petersburg artistic movement ‘Mir Iskusstva’ (‘The World of Arts’)
which was inspired with the art and culture of the 18th century.
The artist
constantly participates in exhibitions in Russia and abroad. Her works are found
in private collections in England, America, Germany, China, Russia and other countries.
