About me

About me

Welcom inARTwith.me !

I am Olga Sharykina, the author of the site and all of the pictures, and I’m a professional artist.

I created and filled this online resource with information, the places I’ve visited, as well as where to go in search of beauty and what to see.

My creative journey:

I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia, in a family of doctors. When I was little, there were always interesting guests at home, often painters and artists, who were very educated people. In 2004 I graduated with two degrees from the Department of Fine Arts and Pedagogy at the Moscow State Pedagogical University. 

Since then, I have worked in a variety of fields: printing, photography, illustration, video and animation, teaching, but the main focus for me has always been painting and graphics. 

My work:

Art and travel is at the very core of who I am, and I intertwine these two components in my work to give an exciting mixture. I look for interesting places and then I go there, work, write and study. As a result, I produce paintings, sketches, observations, whilst continuously studying new things, be it places, people or anything that is happening around me. It brings me great pleasure to share with my audience the material I have worked on and collected for this purpose. 

Apart from plein-air practice and genre sketches, another direction my art takes that I greatly enjoy is children’s portraits. You can view more of my work from this category on DetiNaPortrete.ru (only the Russian version is available however). 

My blog:

Artists looking for new things to try and novel locations for their etudes will find the necessary information on my blog, as well as viewers or collectors who wish to purchase a painting and enjoy it at home or as a gift to someone. Whether you are simply here to look at the art or for further information about upcoming exhibitions/creative events, I hope you enjoy my blog and that it fills you with positive emotions. 

I do not sit still and never stop! I share everything I know and everything I know how to do, I teach and always look to learn new things myself.

Thank you for taking this journey with me to the great world of Art!

Enjoy the journey & enjoy it with me!
