Self Portrait of Woman
by Oleksandra Kolos
In this era of global changes within our social landscape, being alone has become a test. Our personal lives can no longer be hidden behind our social roles. A woman’s sensitivity has become her Achilles’ heel, but recognizing vulnerability is actually a strength.These days, painting has become a practice, and even, in a sense, a meditative activity. Through contact with figurative art, it is possible to feel the plasticity of the human personality and understand the deep and personal within a person. All works are made in oil on canvas
