In her abstract paintings, she speaks to us in the language of colors and shapes about such deep philosophical meanings as : where we come from, who we are, why we are on this earth and what is happening in the human soul. And in the flowers and women's faces she wants us to read the poetry of our world. Aksana finds her inspiration in the beauty of each day and in many different mindful and spiritual practices.
All of her oil paintings are unique and exist in a single copy only.
