About Olena Fedii
My passion
Art has been a passion of mine since my childhood. My initial inspirations came from the natural surroundings that I grew up in which was a town located very close to nature . I was especially drawn to beautiful spring flowers, which often remained in my thoughts long after sighting them . That became the bedrock of my art going forward and inspired the various creations that I try to reproduce in my art.
Floral motifs and nature themes find prominence in my work . These creations speak to the abundance of beauty in the world , which unfortunately many of us fail to notice in our busy daily lives .
My attempt to reproduce them on canvas is a way to consciously connect myself and other who view my art to immense beauty that flowers and nature bestow to the world
