Artworks by Olha Laptieva

Hi, my name is Olha Laptieva

I am an independent artist from Kyiv (Ukraine). But for two years now I have been living and working in France

I love what I do, because painting is my passion, my life's work.

I started to paint professionally at a mature age. Time for me is of special value, so I work hard and quickly.

My main direction of work is nature and flowers. I paint with oil on canvas in my own distinct style, which resembles the watercolour technique.

But over time, I developed a real passion for portraying people, I love showing the beauty of "ordinary" things around us. When I portray people, I use a different technique. I am especially interested in unique angles, dynamics, contrasts, and the beautiful shape of the shadows.

My inspiration comes from observing natural scenes and events.

My works are available in many private, municipal and corporate collections around the world.

I took part in painting symposia and many exhibitions in Ukraine. At the XIII and XIV International Exhibition-Competition Ukrainian Art Week, my works took the first places in the "Still Life" nomination.
