«In the beginning there was the word and the word was light; not just light, but a light of a warm and tender ray. Impressions of life changing one another – paints, lines, treachery, suffering, routine, silence – everything steps back. Only a feeling of a soft touch of morning sun, state of morning calmness and cleanliness remains in the pictures. It is fascinating! Words put together into stains like torn pieces of color paper are pierced with sunlight. Piercing with light is an essence of Ganna Gidora, her eyes. Pictures, aspirations, sounds, hills, river, people, flowers – everything depicted by the artist is refracted in light and is filled with light. It is the artist’s entity, it is beyond the artist’s control, it is her essence and nature. If you look at the world with a kid's eyes – through a yellow glass piece – you’ll see the very world which we may observe on Gidora’s pictures. These are not sun glasses – the God has just instilled into the artist’s soul a warm sunny mission and gave her light flowing from within.» Oleksandr Zhyvotkov, artist |
