PEONIES WITH JASMINE Painting

My name is Olena. I was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine. I graduated Kharkiv Art Academy, faculty of interior design. She worked as a designer for 3 years. I started painting 6 years ago, with the appearance of my second child. One day I realized that I no longer wanted to sit in the office at a computer, but wanted to do what I liked since my childhood. At first my works were copies of different famous artists. My works were exhibited on social media and they found their buyers. Then I wanted to open up more and trust my inner world, so my new author’s paintings began to be born. From that period my creative journey began. Hobby went into a profession and then into a lifestyle. My paintings are about what I see, what I feel, what my soul feels, I try to paint my emotions and part of my soul. I study nature and its forms. I set picturesque tasks. I experiment and look for new compositional, colors and figurative solutions. My paintings are filled with light and warmth. I love to use the warm palette for my paintings and I don’t use black color palette. At the moment I create my paintings in the style of impressionism, in pasty painting technique with the use of the palette knife. My favorite genres in which I work are landscapes, architecture, abstraction and flowers. When I do painting, I feel a joy, feeling of flight and inspiration. For my paintings I use an Italian canvas of excellent quality and also I use good professional paints. The measurements of my paintings are usually from 40x50 cm to 60x80 cm, but I also have my paintings called “Abstract pions” in size of 90x100 cm. My paintings that are exhibited in social media have been finding their buyers in different parts of Ukraine, Europe and North America for several years. Some customers became my friendsand I am very happy about it! I get a lot of positive feedbacks from my customers that my paintings have very good energy. Life is a creative process and I am in a constant search of different technical techniques in painting, I always try something new and develop myself. I love travel, exactly after travels my new ideas for the future paintings are born. Contemplation the beauty of nature always leaves a mark in the soul and gives emotions that you want to share and give a piece of your soul. I still like to be inspired at the different art museums, considering paintings, brush strokes, compositions and finding the main thing that the artists wanted to convey in the paintings.
