Critical Text
Liliia Kaluzhyna’s painting manifests itself through a poetic sensitivity and composure of style that characterizes one’s way of expressing oneself. So the artist not only with his eyes, gives us the illusion of observing the landscape as from an open window, but also with the mind and heart until he feels a vibrant part of it, in order to reproduce in his paintings , where it rises to new life and intensity, its external beauty and above all its perfumes, its harmony, its soul. It denotes how much transport, how much intimacy Liliia Kaluzhyna gathers in her studio, where she finds the images of a daily life made up of peaceful moments, of family affections. Hence that sense of freshness of her immediate painting, attentive to the phenomenal datum, in fact she is an attentive observer of reality, seizing the moment to transform it into suggestion, feeling, impression.
