About Me
- Olga Coronovschi -
I am a graphic artist and illustrator living and working in Bergen, Norway.
Some of the things that I draw inspiration for my art work are nature, architecture and curious things in the everyday life that get reflected through my worldview.
When I paint I tell a stories. Stories about what I love and see around me in the city, in the countryside, the people and the beauty around. I believe it can make you feel and think, go on a journey and have a moment of sublime!
Born and raised in Moldova, I was trained as a Graphic artist and teacher. A variety of techniques and genres like watercolour and acrylic painting, printmaking, as well as book illustration have been my interest throughout my professional journey.
Alongside my creative work I teach art classes to children and grown ups.
Some of my dearest pieces were book illustrations I made for a number of books in Norway, Moldova and the USA.
I have participated in art exhibitions, residences and have work commissioned in a series of countries, like: Germany, Hungary, Russia, Moldova, Romania, Slovenia, the USA, Norway.
I had solo exhibitions in Lendava, Slovenia and Bergen, Norway.
