About Olga Limansky
Olga Limansky was a self-taught painter who discovered her passion for visual arts at the age of fifty-five. She painted what appealed to her inspired by the urban and rural landscape of Lebanon and daily life. Limansky loved colors and applied them with abundance and freedom, venturing with watercolor on paper, oil on board, and charcoal on paper. Her paintings depicted the lively urban life of Beirut in the good old days, featuring red tiled roofs, narrow balconies, louvered windows, and arched ones characteristic of Beirut’s old buildings. Limansky passed away in Rabieh, Lebanon, in 1988.
