Biography
Nadia Y. Kasko I still remember the gray, overcast day when I moved from the Ukraine to the spectacular Pacific Northwest. Since then, I have been amazed and inspired by Nature's wonder. Whether hiking through endless greenery, gazing over the restless ocean or watching each unique sunset, I am continually blessed by the rich texture of Washington life. Whether I am painting figures or landscapes, I attempt to convey the inner strength and beauty of each. I graduated from the University of Washington's Art Program. My great passion is snowboarding and any day that "starts with powder and ends with paint" is a really, really good day. Artist Statement When I study the work of Old Masters, I am continually impressed with the extreme beauty achieved by simplifying objects to their most basic of geometric shapes. Paul CÃ©zanne has been one of my greatest inspirations. His masterful use of adventurous color, simplified forms and exploratory brushstrokes combine to offer the viewer a complex visual experienceâ¦a complexity I continually strive to understand. As I view the world around me, I search for unique angles and interpretations. Each uniqueness triggers my imagination which I attempt to express on canvas. Whether the attraction is a warmth of color or an intense light or shadow, such extraordinary beauty inspires me back into my studio. Some of my artistic goals are to express volume, space and flow of light. This is achieved by varying color intensity, controlling edges and interplaying warm with cool colors. I am amazed how bold strokes can convey strength, even in the most delicate of objects. While I sometimes pre-conceive how the finished piece will look, other times I will allow the painting to evolve into an end result. Either way, when I am finished, I ask myself "how can I make it more powerful?"

Style Impressionism

An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
