PROGRAM: DEMONSTRATION
Urban Landscapes with Oksana Zhelisko
For the past two years, Oksana has been drawn to the character and uniqueness of cities. For her, the process of creating begins with a scene she feels carries a certain energy and evokes an emotion. She is drawn to subject matter with rich colours or intriguing light, painting both daytime and night time scenes, which allows Oksana to experiment with colour values and additional abstraction brought by darkness. There is so much to learn and explore in her technical ability and experimentation with abstraction.
