Personal Exhibition Gallery Delafontaine, Carouge, Geneva, Switzerland.

Christmas less Orthodox

During the most festive period of the year - the period of Christmas, the artist devotes her personal exhibition to the theme of cultural identity. Whilst meditating in front of the images of winter nature, the artist invites the spectator to look inwards to his inner garden. This exhibition is dedicated to a reflection on what the individual preserves of his origins, of his traditions in a multinational and mixed environment. Like an uprooted plant finding itself swept with the four winds of life, he comes out from that experience transformed but also enriched and strengthened by the multiple influences of the cosmopolitan community. What would remain of singularity in today’s modern uniformed society?

Address:rue Jacques-Dalphin 24, 1227 Carouge Geneva CH

During the last year, Olha Snydanko worked on a series of paintings exposed under the exhibition named “EXTENDED HORIZONS”. The idea of this collection is to bring our mind to the fragility of the nature and to the ecological problems of today. Should we have a new look on ourselves and the world which surrounds us? Should we extend our personal horizons for better understanding of ourselves, between the individuals and people, to avoid the self-destruction and the destruction of our Land, to see broader, further, to preserve Life, to see the beauty, which surrounds us, so close and so far, to understand the fragility of this world and to transmit this natural balance to the future generations, without pretending to control the nature, because the nature doesn’t need us, the Earth will exist with or without humanity.
