Inna Orlik

The Odyssey Within: an Exhibition of Fine Art by Greek and Italian Artists
December 23 - January 12, 2012 Reception: Thursday December 29, 2011 6-8 PM

Press Release

Inna Orlik is a painter extraordinaire. Her paintings are intensely beautiful, populated by graceful figures, lovely plant-life, and idyllic landscapes. She is versed not only in painting, but in murals and art restoration, and so she easily navigates from oils to acrylic to tempera, ink, and modeling paste. Her paintings are rich and multilayered. A simple still life of a floral arrangement becomes a ravishing study of color, texture, and light. Orlik pairs vivid contrasts with delicate line work, conveying to us the beautiful fragility of life. Some works celebrate the natural world and seasonal rhythms while others offer moments of quiet solitude. “Art is something never-ending and I would like to reach a point where I can find my place in the universe,” she explains.

Besides her personal art, Inna Orlik is a successful painter of religious icons, and has done work in a number of churches and monasteries. Her artwork may be found in collections around the world including in New York, Paris, Rome and Moscow. She lives in Greece.


Artist Statement

The technique of the depiction of an image is based, for me, on the influence of Impressionism and the graphic perception of both shape and color. I combine painting with graphic arts. In some of my works I make surfaces in relief to act as a base for my drawings, which creates an extra notion of light and shadow and also of something living, although the painting itself is graphic. Furthermore, the technique of wet aquarelle in combination with concrete design is something which makes the paintings unique and engaging. I also work with oil, acrylic colors, tempera ink, modeling paste, and gold leaf. As long as I draw I will find the strength to go living!
