Russian born painter, Olga Antonova, trained at the prestigious University of Leningrad. Ms. Antonova has developed an international reputation with major exhibitions in Europe, New York and New England. Her luminous work bestows an intimacy and beauty on the most ordinary of everyday objects - teacups and saucers, kettles and even the lowly iron are imbued with a richness and vibrancy reminiscent of the great European painters of the 18th century; her work transcends the still life to become an intimate portrait of the inanimate object.
