Ganna Kryvolap

Since she was a young child, the Ukrainian painter Ganna Kryvolap has been shaped by the creative environment revolving around her family. She comes from a family of artists. Her father Anatoliy Kryvolap, who was famous for his Ukrainian landscape paintings, as well as her mother Zinayida Vasina, also an artist and theatre costume designer, both had a great impact on Ganna Kryvolap. Her works are characterised by brilliant colours, expressionist structure and vibrating energy. They radiate lightness and an incredible luminous intensity. The artist works in series and cycles. She transforms her city series into an abstract and dreamlike language: Kryvolap’s pictures are hybrids that incorporate impressions of real landscapes, intellectual observations and pure fantasy. She contrasts her multi-coloured urban pictures with a colour background that additionally introduces a strong dynamic element.
