Gothic motif Painting

Hello! My name is Olga. I was born in the Ukrainian city of Kherson in 1984. Now I live and work in Krakow (Poland). I have been painting professionally for over 17 years. Since 2008 I have been a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.2023 member of the Union of Artists of Poland (Krakow). I have a PhD in Art History (2019). As an artist, I am usually inspired by a woman as the personification of beauty, tenderness, love, motherhood and, in fact, life itself. When creating an image, I often refer to folk customs, Christian symbolism and elements of folklore. I am also inspired by the cityscape and ancient architecture. In my opinion, it is a silent witness to the history of mankind. My works can be found in the Kherson Regional Art Museum named after O. Shovkunenko, the Museum of Ethnography and Art Crafts Institute of Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Lviv), Kherson Academic Music and Drama Theater named after M. Kulish, Stalowa Gallery (Warsaw, Poland), Royal Castle in Lechytsia (Poland), private collections in Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Israel
