Interview with a floral artist - Olga Hutsul

Olga Hutsul



How old were you when first time the idea of being an artist came up ?

Could you tell us about what kind of floral art you do ?

All my art is based on my photography. In order to enhance the natural beauty I use different techniques in image processing software


Who inspired or taught you ?

I was inspired by a number of great artists such as Salvador Dali, Caravaggio, Dutch painters, of course there were different influences throughout my life. And there seems to be no end to this process, on a rainy day you will always find me in a nearest bookstore going through books and books of art.

How often do you create?

Which were the worst ones?


The worst moments are attempts to find acknowledgement...
