Contact Oleksandra About Her Work

International

As an artist Oleksandra works in watercolour, pencil and other media. She is a participant of many international exhibitions in Ukraine, Italy and the UK as well as a number of solo exhibitions. Her great passion is Contemporary Botanical Art and drawing portraits.

"Oleksandra’s works extend just beyond the mimetic, into an area of subtle expressiveness.

Nature is augmented and enhanced by human presence. They have feelings and the artist’s love of, and wonder at, the subject becomes apparent. The object becomes the subject and observation becomes transformation.”

Dr Giles Hansen Sutherland, Art Critic for The Times in Scotland.
