Many people love the golden color of autumn and the purity of winter. The brushes of the Ukrainian female painter Olga Gidko (Ольга Дидык) perfectly reproduce this yearning.
In 1995, Gidko graduated from the Lviv Academy of Arts and Crafts and in 2005 from the Lviv Fyodorov School of Journalism. Olga's artistic talent is amazing, she has an unusual sensitivity to beauty, and her works have realistic and romantic overtones. Landscapes and still lifes are the main subjects of her work.
She has extraordinary formal beauty and extraordinary compositional talent, so she has a very distinct personality. In his works, the painter tries to show the simplicity and grandeur of nature, the richness and fullness of color.
In Gideko's work, winter seems to be a beautiful kingdom of ice and snow: white snow and blue skies are contrasted with the brown of the vegetation beneath the ice and snow. In the painter's heart, winter is bright, it is beautiful, like a fairy tale world.
The painter deliberately captures the feeling of the early morning, which is the most exciting moment of the day. Even at night, the painter creates a beam of light filled with warmth, which is reflected in the light blue sky.
The painter's landscape paintings have a very heavy Orthodox color. The path leading to the church has another symbolic significance, and the leaf-covered bell tower gives a certain mystique.
Unlike autumn scenes, Gidekko's winter works have no figures, as if nature dominates the space where humans are located. Gidekko touches the human world with a motherly love like nature, creating an idyllic, relaxed joy and beauty.
