Olga Chuykova

When I see a single flower I see a world full of magic, beauty and mystery, and in my works I always try to uncover them all. I’m attracted to this combination of magic and delicate beauty in flowers. I enjoy watching the changes in this world: when hydrangeas change their colour, when leaves turn yellow or red, then dry up and new ones appear in their place afterwards. I feel each flower has its own temper. It’s not by chance that for the recent ages people have been attributing to flowers the ability to express certain feelings. Thus was born The Language of Flowers. I love watercolor technique since I can blend endless combinations of colours with true sunlight seeping through the picture in unexpected ways. I strive for paintings containing my personal experience and able to transmit my passion to other people.
