Olga Pursches was born and raised in Moscow.  At a young age she began to practice ballet at a ballet school and then took piano and singing lessons at a music school.  Olga's father, a hobby artist, noticed her ability to draw  and began to study with her, explaining the rules of light and shadow, perspective and the golden ratio.  Then she attended the Repin Art School and studied drawing, painting, sculpture, composition and art history for five years.  After graduating from high school, she studied fashion design and attended the College of Fashion.  After completing her studies, she turned down a successful job offer at the renowned Moscow fashion house, accepted young and creative tailors into the team and founded her own company for the design and manufacture of stage costumes.
 Later she moved to Switzerland and took part in various international fashion, dance and stage projects for a long time in collaboration with the Agency of Artists.  Then Olga moves to Germany and returns to painting.  For three years she attended workshops for drawing and sketching by the graphic artist Gabor Pesthy as well as workshops for oil painting.  Even at workshops she is very interested in portraits and soon she starts drawing the first portraits to order.  Olga Pursches is currently working as a professional artist.  Her work can be seen and purchased in galleries, exhibition and online galleries, and paintings or portraits can be ordered individually.
