Ольга Новохатская
Ukrainian Painter in Paris, Between Figuration and Abstraction
Olga Novokhatska was born in Ukraine in 1979. She decided on painting early, entering a specialised art school at sixteen and then a state academy of design and fine arts, where she received the classical Russian and Ukrainian training in drawing and plein-air painting. Her early work, like the Crimean harbour scenes she painted in the 2000s, is in that tradition: thick, quick oil, every stroke a plank or a reflection.
She has lived and worked in Paris for some years, where her subjects are the city’s cafés, terraces, bridges and streets, treated in a looser manner between figuration and abstraction in which, as she says, the painting is the subject: colour and the play of textures rather than the motif.
Her work is shown by galleries in Paris and Nice and through international platforms, and is held in private collections in Europe and America.
