Cafe at Italy II Print

I'm an ukrainian artist, living and working at Paris for several years now. After obtaining the master degree in painting in the Kharkiv State Academy in Ukraine, I have moved in France, and I completed my artistic education in Lorraine Fine Art School. My style is between figurative and abstract expressionism, with a strong impressionnist inspiration. The medium I use, it's oil painting on canvas. My major themes is both the human figure and floral. In my recent series, I represent the spring blossoming trees, with a rich texture of oil painting, working with a spatula. "When looking at Olga Novokhatska’s work, you do not see a painting in the strictest sense, but rather a living object. Material is truly at the heart of her creations. The paint is exuberant, and doesn’t stop unveiling it’s secrets. Tumultuous texture created by the thickness of the oil paint, the infinite variety of brush strokes and markings with the spatular. In this way, the artist displays effects of relief in her work, of form and space, and assures a chromatic base throughout this collection of expressionist paintings."
