Oxana Kravtsova

In each of my paintings, I strive to convey not only a visual impression, but also an energy that can be felt tactilely.
My main tool is the palette knife, with which I create many layers and textures on the canvas. Each stroke is a reflection of my feelings, moods and sensations, which are intertwined with paint and transferred to the canvas, leaving their own unique mark.
My paintings invite the viewer into the world of bright and saturated colors, each artwork seems to come to life, inviting you to touch it with your hand and feel its power.
Interesting plots, warmly familiar to everyone, help you immerse yourself in my emotions and know them with your own heart, get unforgettable aesthetic and emotional impressions.
