In the world of fantasy, the sea can be any color. In Oksana’s Dreamy Lands painting it is yellow-green with a hint of pinks. This painting was inspired by sea haze and a play of sun rays through the think slice of air. This artwork is done in colors that are something out of fantasy rather than classic blues because exaggeration is the key to art. Making the sea just like the photograph could be rather boring in a painting, so Oksana decided to experiment with other colors. This is why the sky is yellow, and there are pink brushstrokes throughout the paining.

As with a lot of abstract paintings by Oksana, there’s texture contrast in this artwork. Large brush strokes in the foreground gently fade out into smoothness of the sky in the background. There are three sail ships in this painting spaced out to form a focal triangle and to help catch the viewer’s eye. This painting was created in 2018 as an idea for a large scale artwork.

Overall, Dreamy Lands painting creates a nice bright splash on the wall. The artwork is rather small, 8 by 10 inches. It’s painted with acrylic paint on canvas. The edges are painted, so it can be framed or hanged as is.

Hi! My name is Oksana Ossipov, and I’m a visual artist and photographer. I was born in Ukraine and currently reside in the area of Dallas, Texas. My formal education includes a BFA in Digital Media Art from San Jose State University. After moving to Texas, I started to focus on my fine art skills and figurative art in particular. I studied for 5 years under Michael Mentler at the Society of Figurative Arts. Through my life, I’ve also acquired a multitude of skills that include web development, sculpting, photography, art studio and business management, and baking awesome blueberry scones! I’ve been trying to fully devote myself to the art over the past few years. I’m trying to learn and practice as much as I can. However, the workshop, class, and art supply costs present a certain financial challenge. If you like my work and want to support me, I would truly appreciate it! I have a shop full of artworks and creations, but even just sharing my art or social media pages would help a lot. Thank you so much!
