And only in the period of the Renaissance was formed in Europe where animals at that time were represented as well as the personification of the shortcomings of human virtues."

LANDSCAPE - The main theme of Olya Gostevoy's paintings is considered to be the natural world, the surrounding sphere, towns and country courtyards or absolutely wilderness.
"Initially, the landscape genre arose in the ancient period, when the presence of painting of castles, temples and the formation of miniatures and icons was widespread.

It exists in the works of numerous artists such as Pieter Paul Rubens from the Netherlands, Alexey Kondratyevich Savrasov from the Russian Empire, Edouard Manet from France, Isaac Ilyich Levitan from Russia, Pieter Cornelis (Piet) Mondriaan from the Netherlands, Pablo Picasso from Spain, Georges Braque from France and many others representatives of the direction.

"The most popular marine painter in society is probably considered Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky from Russia, whose canvas" The 9th shaft "can be described as a masterpiece of Russian painting. Marina's rise proceeded at the same time with the formation of the landscape in principle."

URBAN LANDSCAPE - here Olya Gosteva depicts natural landscapes with swans and ducks on a pond, a fountain in an alley and endless paths, roads and realities of everyday life. A light rain that beats in unison with its own heartbeat over the iridescent puddles, illuminated by the radiant sun, quiet morning fields and country courtyards. Rural landscapes are not intermittently changing together with the continuously flowing time. But the main thing here is not time, but the artist Olya Gosteva herself and her ability to tell her story in drawings and paintings. "One of the most famous painters of the urban landscape genre was Claude Monet, who painted the Parliament Building at sunset, 1902."

"Romanticism at all times has been viewed as a mirror of the human soul, in Germany it was also viewed as a symbolism of freedom and infinity. It also affirms the cult of nature, feelings and the natural in man. One of the Romantic Landscape painters was Joseph Mallord William Turner from Great Britain, Caspar David Friedrich from Germany, Frederic Edwin Church from the USA. "

IMPRESSIONISM - In her own paintings, the artist of mixed styles and genres, impressionist Olya Gosteva, with the support of her characteristic distinctive brush strokes and rich colors, conveys an atmosphere of warmth or cold of powerful winds or pacified serenity, an obscure rainy morning dawn, or a bright sunny day, or maybe a magnificent evening sunset. And besides, own individual feelings from what he saw and felt in the world of emotions, those feelings and fleeting impressions where external similarity or authenticity is not evaluated, but only the immediate realism of the feelings experienced is appreciated. The spiritual state of the picture, its atmosphere and depth. "Initially, this style was subjected to strong criticism. Fundamental paintings of the Impressionists existed and were exhibited in Paris, in the Salon of Les Miserables, in this place, not recognized by the official salon of arts in Paris, could exhibit their artwork. For the first time the word "impressionism" was used by the art critic Louis Leroy, it was he who composed a contemptuous response to the magazine "Le Charivari" about the exhibition of artists. For the term he gave, he characterized the canvas "Impression. Rising Sun ”written by Claude Monet. He called absolutely many painters the impressionists, an approximate translation of which is "impressed". The first canvases were actually criticized, but soon a huge number of admirers of the latest trends in art began to arrive at the art salon, and the style itself from the outcast was transformed into a generally recognized style. "

AR BRUT is the creative process of Olya Gosteva in a more true manifestation: these are unexpected emotional outbursts from the depths of her intellect and consciousness, captured in the picture. A naive and primitivistic drawing with the purest lines, which have every chance of being a genre of trash or romanticism. It is possible to compare it with the avant-garde in art - certain artworks by Olya Gostevoy are not included in any way, not in one style, and in some cases they have every chance to combine many styles.
"Art Brut / Art Brut was called the French avant-garde, since it was he who was present only within French-speaking Europe - Of the more common are many famous Art Brut creators - Eugenio Santoro from Switzerland, Joseph Ferdinand Cheval from France - better known as the postman Cheval , Friedrich Schroder Sonnenstern from Germany, Adolf Wolfli from Switzerland, Aloise Corbaz from Switzerland, Augustin Lesage from France, Louis Soutter from Switzerland, August Walla from Australia, Johann Hauser from Austria, Henry Darger from America, Madge Gill from Britain, originally from America , Giovanni Andrea Podesta from Italy, Martin Ramirez from America, Judith Scott from America, Raphael Lonne from France, etc. "

EXPRESSIONISM - In her own drawings, Olya Gosteva obviously seeks to show not so much external features as internal feelings, just at the expense of external images. Such works are sent to rethink absolutely all views on art. Oli Gostevoy's distinctive drawing styles are noted. Where there is a simplification, almost comparable to primitivism, exaggeration, which are similar to the grotesque type, details from the types of impressionism, the use of an angular line, a rough brushstroke, bright color, where notes of causing color contrast. A picture of a lightning-fast impression, capable of conveying all the depths of excitement. It is also possible to note that, from the usual imitation of reality, the painter is more and more immersed in various avant-garde techniques, which give her the opportunity to express her emotions, impressions, abstract sensations, sensory worries like love, happiness, joy, pain, despair, betrayal much more colorful. After experiencing negative and positive episodes in her own life, the artist certainly expresses not only her feelings about an extremely unstable society, which at any second is capable of destroying a myriad of living beings from the planet. But also the very disturbing emotions of the living beings themselves. Therefore, for numerous connoisseurs of art, these paintings seem extremely clear, and the styles are timely and relevant for the given time. “The representatives of post-impressionism had a special influence on the representatives of Expressionism. And by that period they had invented a large number of drawing techniques, methods of working with colors and various lines.
The most popular representatives of Expressionism are: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner from Germany, Edvard Munch from Norway, Franz Marc from Germany, Frank Helmut Auerbach from Britain, Albert Bloch from America, Zinaida Serebriakova from Russia living in France, Johannes Carolus Bernardus Sluijters from the Netherlands, Nicolae Tonitza from Romania, Milton Clark Avery from America, Max Beckmann from Germany and many others.
