An experience of luminous illusions - O. Zhuravel

Olena Zhuravel is a notable Ukrainian artist whose methods and techniques are marvellous, gracious and wise.

Her approach to the topics she chooses is a wonderful combination of traditional values and new effects and images.
Strangely enough, only by 2021 has she become part of the Ukrainian Artists' Union.
'Reality and illusions' - this is how I would like to label one of the most visible among he artistic dychotomies.
A love for colours that tremble, swirl and resonate with each other, can easily be noticed in each of her works.
While depicting (and partially synchronizing with) her main interests and topics, which is nature, miss Zhuravel creates her own style of working with lanscapes and cityscapes. This is not only expressed by her choice of vivid and luminiscent paint, but also by the philosophy behind lights, tones and shadows.
The same metaphor is embedded into several cycles of her works.
'Life is a fairytale' and 'Life is a mystery', at least these main messages can be spotted by a young art critic who find her works intentionally or by chance.
A polylogue between the artist, the nature and the viewer (the art recipient) demonstrates deep immersion into several elements, among which water and air prevail.

Her nature as an artist is responsive, sensitive, erudition-laden and romantic.
Having passed some time in Italy, not only has she bettered her technique, but also she has brought a trademark Italian view of timelessness and fraiglity of the outer world into the scope of Ukrainian visual arts.
These works are readable while they still leave something for the viewer's imagination.
If you seek inner harmony and delightful experiences of life linked to the nature's wonders and the romance of Western Ukrainian and Western European scenery, make a step towards Olena Zhuravel's exciting and exquisite works.
