Movement and mood are at the core of Lyudmila’s artistic style. She merges both abstract and traditional painting in a loose painterly way to create energetic and impactful artwork. Her themes mainly involve figures and portraits of people captured in their private moments of contemplation, everyday scenes, playing music or dancing. Her painting philosophy is to interpret reality and not copy it. She paints quickly with large gestural strokes free of preconceived logical steps, infusing passion and excitement. A fleeting moment is captured and transformed by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. The brush strokes are moving, pushing, emerging and overwhelming, but never still and quiet.
