About the author
Larissa Uvarova is a contemporary Ukrainian artist. She lives and works in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Larissa's works at first glance resemble landscapes, perhaps abstracted, but landscapes nonetheless, but in fact these landscapes do not depict the far reaches of nature, but rather the horizons and depths of man's inner world. She describes her artistic direction as a visualisation of the sense of transparency of the universe. The artist is convinced that nothing in this world is deeper and more complex than the human being himself, and she seeks to convey this depth, vastness and multilayeredness in her works. To do this, the artist uses the technique of multi-layer painting - thin layers of oil overlap to create both transparency and depth of colour. Needless to say, this technique requires not only skill but also a lot of time.
The artist believes that when colour is given depth, it begins to sound like music - the music of the universe within us.
