I am Olga Belova, a silk artist. I work exclusively on silk — a rare and demanding surface that requires absolute control.

For more than 25 years, I have refined a technique that preserves the natural luminosity of silk while achieving hyperrealistic depth and precision.

Silk does not allow correction. Pigment absorbs instantly. There is no heavy texture to conceal mistakes, no gesso to control the surface. Every layer must be intentional.

My work focuses on wildlife subjects captured in moments of stillness — presence contained within restraint.

Each painting is entirely hand-created and exists as a single original. I do not produce prints or reproductions.

These works are created for collectors who value rarity, craftsmanship, and the quiet power of refined materials.

I see silk not as softness, but as discipline. This tension defines everything I create.
