Born in Odessa, Ukraine, Olga Krimon received academic art education in Kazan, Russia. Growing up she was (and still is) largely influenced by Repin, Serov, Brullov, Levitan, Kramskoy, Fechin and other Russian titans. She then discovered Sargent, Zorn, Sorolla and Cecilia Beaux, and to this day she examines the movement, the bold brushstrokes and the value arrangements in their pieces.
She continued to grow and develop her skills later in America, through drawing classes with Glen Orbik and painting classes with Jeremy Lipking. Olga also holds a BA in Art History, and she credits it with providing her the rich visual vocabulary that is instrumental for defining her path as an artist. She also later received an MBA, making her well-grounded in the business side of an artistic career.
Olga continues to refine her craft through independent studies and daily practice. Over time, she developed her own style grounded in fundamental principles of academic realism, sensitivity to subtle value and color transitions, and yet bold energy of movement and expressive brushstrokes. Olga’s Figurative and Still Life Paintings are recognized by the Portrait Society of America PSoA (International Competition 1st Place Drawing 2016 and 3rd Honor Award 2014, Certificates of Excellence 2011, 2015 and 2018, Members Only 3rd Merit 2015 and Honorable Mention 2014) and American Art Collector Award of Excellence, Oil Painters of America (OPA) Western Regional Competition 2014. She is also a finalist in 2015 and 2016 Art Renewal Center (ARC) International Salon Competition.
This is one of my favorite interviews ❤❤❤
Really enjoy hearing your in-depth natural conversations. It's so much richer than the typical short-form surface-level questions and answers. You really let each guest dig deeper when they feel inspired by a question and let the conversation flow naturally to where it needs to go. You also follow their lead so well and don't interrupt their thought process as the conversation unfolds. You can really tell that your guests are happy to be there and enjoy sharing their stories--it makes a big difference!
Thank you! That means a lot.
Another excellent Undraped Artist interview! Thank you!
Wow the emotion in her work and brush strokes is breathtaking. What an amazing sensitive and very powerful artist! Hey Bro - these interviews are priceless for me - thank you so much!
I love the different underwater angles of the swimmer's volume and the water surface itself in Weightless! I can't stop looking at it!
At the end of your every podcast I'm thinking oh noh, it's ending, It's like saying goodbye to characters of your favorite tv-show, you feel like no other tv-show can give this feeling, but this is not true - with your podcasts I get this feeling almost every time. These are amaaaaazzziiing! Preparing my painting surfaces while listening to this.
That’s quite a compliment. Thank you!
Olga, thank you for sharing your amusing journey!
I am truly loving the questions asked in these interviews. I am learning so much about these artists that I have admired from afar.
i not only learn about the artist I also learn about myself. Thanks for the podcast!
You are welcome
Great interview by two favorite artist. Thank you
I've never heard of Olga Krimon and her work is spectacular. I love her paintings!!!!! What a great podcast interview.
Fantastic! I love both of your work. And I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you for doing this. I have shared this with my art group in Vermont and many are going to watch and subscribe.
we all live on the same planet. nothing can be truly original. But that certainly does not mean that you cannot put your originality and who you are into it. it is about your soul, not the subjects, not the process. and it is important to make that art.
Well said
Truly inspiring. How do artist find their level of detail? I've seen in a couple of your Podcasts that some artist start out ...successfully...at a certain level of detail and then switch direction. I am constantly trying to figure out how much detail in a painting it is that I want to bring out. Love Love Love your Podcast!!!
Love it!
very inspiring
I love this show! Even though he does primarily landscapes would you consider interviewing Tibor Nagy?
Could you list those 19th century painters Olga mentions? Such an interesting interview! You are amazing Olga!
Repin, Serov
👌
I often overwork and sadly can't go back
When you push a painting too far instead of calling it finished, you are doing yourself a learning service. We need more ruins than accomplishments to learn what is possible and what are the wrong moves. Stagnant and complacent about your work, well you may as well be spending your life checking your fantasy football games and complaining about your job. Money and fame from great work over and over is not the objective, rather something to hope for. Our livelihood is in questioning and pushing for greater answers.
Don't buy expensive purses. Got it! Lol
