ART EXHIBITION: Hellas Inspired Visual Expressions

Hellas Inspired Visual Expressions is a salon-style art soirée, opening a solo exhibition of works by contemporary visual artist, Nadezhda Yakustidi, best known as Nadya.

Featuring a bright selection of portraits, landscapes and still lifes of floral and fruit themes, the exhibition will aim to celebrate expressions of life through colour and creatively energize London audiences in anticipation of summer days in England. The private salon-style format of the soirée, which will take place at the London Latvian Centre, will provide guests with an intimate viewing opportunity outside of the traditional gallery setting.

Hellas Inspired Visual Expressions reflects Nadya’s creative vision and mode of self-expression, which have been greatly influenced by the warmth and vibrancy of Greece, a country very dear to the artist’s heart. Nadya’s style has been described as Expressionist with touches of Symbolism, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism. The exhibition’s palette is bright, and the artist applies colour with versatility, optimism and self-reflection. As Nadya admits, for her art is an expression of soul in colour. Her visual expressions are imbued with love for nature, flowers, people and all making up her world. Travels throughout the Greek countryside and islands have served Nadya as a source of inspiration and frequently compelled her to share her experiences there via vivid, original and expressive work, which is thoughtfully curated in this exhibition.
