Pandemic 19 - landscape painting, minimalist painting
By Olga Szczechowska
Located in New York, NY
This beautiful landscape painting by Olga is part of her Pandemic series she did during the Covid 19 pandemic.
As oppose to the chaos the world is experiencing due to the pandemic, her landscape paintings are the opposite; calm, almost surreal and utopic.
Olga is mostly engaged in painting and illustration. She likes breaking the rules of proper reflecting of nature with the use of unexpected elements from another universe. Her works are minimalistic in the form, simply elegant and gracefully colorful.
