Land scape Special Edition CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW As an artist, you are particularly interested in the physiological processes of reflection that guides the creation of the work of art: when walking our readers through the genesis of your works, would you tell us something about your usual setup and process? More specifically do you create your works intuitivelly, instinctively? How important are improvisation and spontaneityin your practice, in order to capture the inspiration that arises from the emerging images? Oleh Lavrii: I think many artists are interested in the process of creating a work of art at the moment of inspiration. It is also very important for me when inspiration and perfect movements of the tool on the canvas work in tandem, when thoughts do not get ahead of the flow of smooth work, then it becomes possible to think a little about the processes taking place on the canvas and direct them in the right direction. For example, the work "Catharsis", When I started this work, I thought about the sea, about the sand on the beach, but in the process of work I thought about the sources that fill the seas and oceans, at the end the idea of \u200b\u200bCatharsis appeared. It is very exciting to follow the process of work, and experience the joy of emerging images. The works that we have selected for this special edition of LandEscape —and that our readers have already started to get to know in the introductory pages of this article — has at once captured our attention for the way they blend reality with imagination, inviting the viewers to explore the crossroad between reality and the dreamlike dimension: how do you considerthe relationship between reality and imagination, playing within your artistic production?
