An article in the Dumfries & Galloway Life magazine in the Art News section about the Faraway" exhibition.

"Ukrainian artist Oleksandra Novatska's exhibition in Dumfries - "Faraway" From Ukraine to UK: A Tribute - explored how it felt to leave everything and everyone you love behind and start again, find a new role, in a new life."

"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.
