LESYA ORTYNSKA

CONTEMPORARY ARTIST

The main focus of my paintings is the Human as a sensitive organism whose mental state, such as the mercury in a thermometer, is constantly changing from its lowest to the highest limits. Those emotional changes of human nature vibrate to my personal history and give an echo of strong feelings which I relive during my work again and again by interpreting them to the language of the structured colors on canvas.
Through distorting elements of realism filled with many tiny details, playing with the layers, I am superposing mysteries with various scale, offering different level of reading, from a close inspection to a far glance.
