Biography
Oksana is a visual artist based in Peoria, working primarily with soft pastels and watercolor. She was born in North Caucuses, USSR. An avid painter since childhood, she studied art in Stavropol Art School. After receiving her master’s degree, Oksana moved to Peoria and augmented her formal art studies with extensive travels in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia painting and visiting the great museums.
Oksana believes that art is a reflection of other fields of human reality, both visible and invisible. Art is also the language that allows her to think and create new essences. She is inspired by nature and the colors it produces.
Her paintings hang in public, private, and corporate collections around the world.
Oksana is in the Class of 2023 Sky Art Peoria. Her billboard is currently located on US 24 South Main Street in East Peoria. She also won second place in the “En Plein Air” Art Competition in Peoria Heights in 2023.
Artist Statement
Ever since I moved to Peoria over 20 years ago, I have been amazed by the breathtaking views of the Peoria Lake, both from the shoreline and Grand View Drive. The beauty of the changing seasons is what inspired these paintings.
These 4 art works are original watercolor paintings on cotton paper. The pieces are normally displayed next to one another in a specific order as all the pieces complement and flow with one another. These four works are framed and matted.
