Event: The de Young Open
Dates: 10 Oct 2020 - 3 Jan 2021
In celebration of The de Young Museum’s 125th anniversary, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco hosted The de Young Open, a juried art exhibition of submissions by artists who live in San Francisco and surrounding counties. Oksana's original painting "A View from the Pier" (oil on metal panel, 20 by 20 inches) was selected and displayed in this salon-style exhibition.
Biography
“My primary focus is on painting scenes that capture special
moments in time. My philosophy is ‘staying in and appreciating’ the
moment. Painting has taught me to focus on what is happening now, and to
pay greater attention not only to the outside world but also to my own
responses to it. I have learned that life becomes happier and more
meaningful that way.”
Oksana paints primarily in oils, but also enjoys working in other media such as charcoal, watercolor, and pastels.
“I am continuing to improve my technical skills. I particularly
enjoy experimenting with color and texture, since I feel those two
important elements of painting best allow me to express how I feel about
my subjects.”
