The artist Alla Shlyakhova is a kind soul who from Ukraine paints the world of romance; stretched out on the canvas, her colours sometimes recall the works of Gustav Klimt, perhaps inspired by him, but the artist also ranges in completely different styles that recall a simple symbolism, like a motherhood whose subject can not be confused by its immediacy: the silhouettes of a woman hatching an egg. Immediate lines and with fine brushstrokes, the refined subjects of the artist are part of the tradition and in a sphere that belongs to a time of its own, the immutable sense of beauty, pure ideas, life untouched by vulgarity, in essence a poetic way to paint and when observed, gives to the spirit.
An #art far from the mockery of commercial art; an art that pleases in its purity of ideas. Shlyakhova, a native of Kharkiv and resident in Odessa, besides teaching, writing and creating poems and songs, demonstrating true creativity, also likes to paint, frequently with the technique of pastel, interesting landscapes that show in their immediacy the ability to make the viewer an idea with few simple signs.
