Oleksandra Novatska: Artist | Curator | Educator

"I creates contemporary botanical paintings that focus on the intricate details and harmony of nature. I paint flowers in large scale so their hidden beauty can be seen and admired. My aim is to bring the rich and quiet elegance of nature into everyday settings.

I turn my botanical paintings into limited edition prints to make my unique artworks more widely accessible, whilst retaining their excellent quality and captivating essence. I am passionate about reconnecting people with nature – inviting the beauty of
nature into their homes, offices and other prominent locations within their lives."
