Olena Pryduvalova is a multidisciplinary artist, working in graphics, painting, arts and crafts and Ukrainian reeled dolls (motanka). Often painting with Gouache and using pastels, watercolour, acrylic and tempera.
Pryduvalova’s work is fed by the streets, houses, arches, corners, caryatids of Kyiv, playing with the light and shadow. Seeing her work through the utmost intensity of colour and light, her message that life is full of surprises really shines through from her intense colour palette.
Her work aims to revive the essence of surprise and lead the observer to inspiration, peace and joy.
