Wave

Olha Rusynchuk, Ukraine

While creating paintings, I focused my attention on expressing inner feelings and experiences. She strove to recreate in her works modern realities for herself, focusing on appreciating the power of nature, its beauty and unpredictability. In the works there is spontaneity, freedom of expression with the help of rich colors, a free painting style, expressive application of strokes. The atmosphere prevailing in the country during the war causes anger, indignation, disappointment and despair in many people. The war made its corrections in creativity, you can easily trace how the motifs and techniques in the paintings changed. The main themes are landscapes and the sea, but the main attention, in fact, was given to the fleeting light effect and fleeting life, in which "TOMORROW" may not be. I did not just depict the surrounding world, but tried to recreate the spirit or atmosphere and wanted to draw attention to the importance of spiritual values through color. Reproduction of light and space as faith in God, love and hope for a bright future. Particular attention should be paid to paintings with a marine theme. The sea itself is a symbol of strength, indomitability, and freedom. It is alive, as deep as the human soul, dynamic and unpredictable. The sea lives by its own laws. In the paintings, the waves give the impression of the dynamics of movement. In each work, the sea is different, like the inner world of the artist, a reflection of mood, consciousness and subconsciousness. With the beginning of a full-scale war in Ukraine, she began to use more expressionistic approaches in technique, as an expression of feelings and experiences. Creativity is always a reflection of the present, and creativity is better to forget that it helps to cope with it. These paintings are only the beginning of the creative path, I am constantly in search of individual creative approaches in art, which were modern, but were not soulless.
