My name is Olha Trykolich. I am a Ukrainian artist.
I started my creative way with a very traditional approach to art, but soon switched to exploring the possibilities and depth of different techniques.
Art is a process, the long way matters too. And when you love what you are doing, the rough spots are worth it. Today I create a variety of pictures, including large and small formats on canvas, panel or paper.
My main mediums are oil and acrylic paints. But I like to experiment with different tools and themes and never get hung up on one particular material or technique.
Through my paintings I convey my feelings about the new reality and the changing world around us.
During the Coronavirus, when we were all shut down at home, I felt the need to paint a series of works on the theme of limited communication, loneliness and vaccination. At the same time, I began to explore the topic of identity, each person's connection to family and the memory of our ancestors' history in order to build a harmonious future.
With the outbreak of war in Ukraine, I am trying to convey the huge power of the world's resistance to evil. I see the beauty of each person's struggle for freedom.
These experiences were necessary to find a connection between the several areas of my work: painting, collage and pop-art.
Each painting is an individual story that is born spontaneously, along with the spiral of time.
