Luba Sterlikova

'Luba Sterlikova belongs to that category of artists whose artistic process turns into a search for a new style, a new way of expression and a new prevailing palette of colour.
Her works are symbolic, decorative, profoundly colourful and very sensual .The interweaving of Russian and American traditions in her paintings results in some highly original visual and emotional effects, that lead to new perceptions of art and even to the creation of new art styles. A unique artistic style in her most recent works can be defined as "sensual energy paintings " or innergism. In these works the detailed brush strokes combine with the explosive character of the images to create constructs of challenging contrast. It produces a visual effect of overwhelming energy that penetrates the works and charges the spectators themselves with that energy. '
