In this series, I wanted to move away from the usual shades of flowers in order to better convey the condition and feelings: from cold shades that are just emerging, as if after a winter frost, to unusual and new ones that appear in colours uncharacteristic for these flowers. To do this, I manually painted each photograph of flowers in a photo editor, as if I were painting a picture, drawing smoothness in some places, shadows in others, and flowers in this case are living organisms - translators of my feelings.
But all these mood colors have one feeling that unites them – it is tenderness.
Oksana is an Ukrainian visual artist, architecture and fine art photographer.
She started her studies at the Kyiv School of Photography in 2021 and since then it has become her life's work.
Art educational: Kyiv School of Photography, Ukraine, Form Photo Academy, Paris, France.
Having a master's degree in Economic, this can be applied in the photo field, but in reverse: the photo is not an illustration now, but the main message, supplemented by storytelling. Experience in art school helps Oksana to combine photography and art and this combination is a way of her communication with the world.
