Lola Lonli

Please visit my site http://www.lolalonli.com where you could find all info about me, see my paintings and graphics and read my comments and explanations.

I paint with tempera and fluorescent pigments which change color in black light to express my feeling of natural energy penetrating all things and beings around us. Sometime it is abstract landscape, sometime energetic portrait of my favorite jazz musicians or figurative art with dancers. I also illustrate ancient myths and legends which on my opinion show much in common for all nations of the World. My work are for sale and I also am interested in commission.

My paintings are in the permanent collection of International Center - Museum named after N.K.Roerich, Moscow, Russia; and in several regional art museums of Ukraine and Russia.

I have participated in about 100 exhibitions including more than 50 solo exhibitions.

Different Spaces

A series of paintings «Different spaces» illustrates my belief that energy penetrates all space around us, being constantly in motion and interactions, constantly changing, regardless of whether we see it or not.
Everything that moves in the material universe leaves its energy footprint. Imagine a chemical reaction, when added substance completely changes the original structure of the receiving substance. The same thing happens with the energy surrounding us, where we live, move, and think. Just walking down the street, each of us leaves a trace in the energy structure. According to our thoughts, feelings, experience, inner harmony, and many other parameters our footprint can harmonize or destroy energy. Destruction leads to the death of entire regions surrounding us energies which continuously seek to restore, the void draw energy from saturated objects, like a vacuum. Harmonious objects are bringing harmony, coming into contact with the energy of the veil of the planet, anywhere and in all directions, change and revive it.
Fluorescent pigments were used in all paintings of this series to better express the sensation of invisible energy penetrating the material world. Colors are changing depending on light applied (daylight, usual and black light).

Jazz portraits

A series of paintings «Jazz portraits» depicts my favorite musicians in the creative process together with the energy that manifests itself in interaction with their music. All the paintings of this series were drawn while listening to the music of these musicians. Portraits of Billy Holiday, Lester Young and Jerry Mulligan made from the video recording of song «Fine and mellow» in 1957, where they all participate. Portraits of Marcus Miller and Paco de Lucia were painted in a more expressive style reflecting my impressions received at their concerts.
