Her recent work reflects on the artist's progression to looser and freer brushwork, expressing her own emotive intuition. While these pieces are anchored in figurations, they are no representational or observational but are explorations of feeling awoken by the artist's search for inner meaning. Lilia finds her inspiration in the way nature creates endless variety without judgment on what should or should not be. The viewers are invited to step into the artwork and experience the emotion awoken in them.  A selection of paintings is available to view at the John Davies Gallery. Established for over 40 years, the John Davies Gallery has a history of handling both fine 19th & 20th Century paintings and staging contemporary exhibitions. "Lilia combines three outstanding qualities in her technique that gives her paintings such strong appeal, namely, spontaneity, innate compositional feel and a resonant, yet classic palette. The spontaneity imbues her subjects with great movement, as though an observer's momentary glimpse is arrested when walking past that bunch of flowers or that apple tree. Her compositional skill help this transitory feel, a lack of formality which she combines with a lightness of touch that is so arresting, wonderful in its expressive gestural mark-making. Then, her palette - luxurious, true, generous and positively infectious. I find her paintings powerfully evocative of turn of the 19th to 20th Century Impressionist works...
