About Me
Hello, my name is Olga Oresanya. Thank you for visiting my page. My art is a reflection of what I love most. I am deeply inspired by nature, which is why I predominantly paint landscapes. I have a passion for flowers, as well as pots and vases, which are often subjects of my still life compositions.
My work is characterized by vibrant colours and rich textures, elements that are integral to my creative expression. I believe that original paintings enhance the charm and personality of any interior space, making them unique and inviting. Additionally, I am fascinated by Nigerian Ankara fabrics, and I frequently incorporate their bold patterns and colours into my still life pieces.

Olga Oresanya was born in 1978 in Tver, Russia, which was part of the former Soviet Union at the time. From a very young age, she was passionate about art. She began her artistic journey at the Children’s School of Art, where she studied for five years. After graduating from high school, she pursued formal training at an art college, dedicating five years to her studies. She graduated as an art teacher with a specialization in painting.
Throughout her life in Russia, Olga loved visiting art galleries and museums. Her favorites were the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, where she spent countless hours admiring their collections.
In 2002, Olga and her family relocated to Lagos, Nigeria. There, she worked as an art teacher in primary schools for 17 years. Outside the classroom, she developed a love for ceramics and spent a great deal of time honing her skills in a pottery studio.
In 2019, Olga and her family began a new chapter of their lives by moving to Prince Edward Island, Canada. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she reignited her passion for painting and has been actively creating art ever since.
