Artist’s personal page
Olga Kovtun
I have been interested in fine arts almost since childhood, and this interest first led me to the Taras Shevchenko State Art School. Then, in 2002, I enrolled the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv. At the academy, I studied in the workshop of monumental painting and temple culture of professor Mykola Storozhenko. During my studies, I became a member of the youth organization of the Ukrainian Union of Artists, received a scholarship from the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
In 2008, I obtained a Master of Arts degree and began an internship at Storozhenko’s studio.
In 2010, I became a member of the Union of Artists of Ukraine, in 2012 received a grant from the President of Ukraine for gifted youth, and in 2015 became a laureate of the Kyiv Art Prize in the field of fine arts named after Serhiy Shyshko.
In 2020, I received the award — Honoured Artist of Ukraine, and the award «For outstanding contribution to the development of art.»
My area of interest is sacred, monumental easel painting and icon painting. I was a participant in a large number of Ukrainian and international exhibitions. My works are in private collections of Ukraine, Poland, Georgia, Russia, Germany, France, USA, Iceland, Spain, England and Canada.
