Description

“Vanilla” by Inna Orlik is a serene and minimalistic painting that focuses on the natural beauty and simplicity of two vanilla pods placed delicately on top of a wooden table.

To stand in front of an Orlik artwork is more than viewing, it is a sensation inspired by a sprawling depth of spirituality, and the currents of history, imagination, and dreams. From myths that survive over time and those images of reverie which often turn a crushing reality into a bearable and almost poetic one. Inna Orlik has thoroughly studied painting and graphic arts, has exhibited her works all over the world, and chose Athens as the base for her passion. In her exclusive style of painting, she masterfully combines the Western technique and the fairy-like mystery of the East. Her compositions are dense, visual facts that create subjection to the viewer as a result of their noble artistry. In the beginning, there is a firm design that consolidates the composition through its hidden architecture. Then comes the color that expresses the internal disposition of the artist: warm red colors which are like the wine transformed by Christ at the wedding in Cana and the golden blue clouds that separate hell from heaven. Whoever stands in front of an Orlik painting sinks, almost unconsciously, into a world of magic where miracles can happen anytime.
