very attractive”

in love with creating modern minimalist painting in black and white color. She creates the artworks like a
musician and the brush in her hands is like a conductor`s tool. You can
literally admire her paintings for hours as after black and white color scheme
she hides a plenty of shades, bluish, greenish or pinkish ones.

Early years

Lisa Solo
was born in a family of intelligentsia, her father was a math professor at the
university and mom was a scientist. They considered Lisa as a future scientist
too, and since the early childhood she was taught by home teachers. She loved
the science, but not as a scientist but as an artist. All these chemistry
molecules looked exciting for a little girl as she considered them as small
beautiful pictures in textbooks rather than objects for a deep study.

Actually,
the first artworks by Lisa included microorganisms and molecules. Parents
disrespected this attitude towards science and were rather strict to her. Lisa
recalls that her parents forbade teachers to let her draw a lot during the
lessons, that`s why being a child she already had to consume boring scientific
dry information without visual support. Still Lisa was rather optimistic
person, and parents` strictness didn`t interfere her from making her art late
at night under the blanket. She hid her little drawings under the pillow and
was waiting for the time when he could leave the house and drop this boring to
her science and immense herself in painting process.

School years

Lisa was
studying in a public school in Kyiv, she was a smart girl and could literally
handle any discipline at school. Moreover, she had private lessons with piano
teacher. She had schedule for every day and it was full, no time for personal
life at all. But this lasted only until teenager years hit her, and she started
her small rebellion.

When she
was 14 she used to miss some of the classes at school and just escape to her
granny house where she could just paint as much as she wanted. Her granny
supported Lisa a lot.

After
finishing school Lisa was supposed to enter Engineer studies faculty and even
passed all the exams on a high grade, but then she abandoned this idea. Parents
were desperate but Lisa realized that it was a high time for her to build her
own way. “It was a difficult decision for me, I didn`t want to make my parents
upset, as I knew they loved me a lot, just wanted the best future for me, but I
couldn`t just waste 4 years of my life at the university I didn`t like”. Lisa
decided to take a gap year and take a decision regarding your future. She temporarily
moved to her granny and started her search.

University years and
adulthood

She knew
that the main area of her interest was Art, that`s why with the help of her
granny, she got the opportunity to attend private classes with Art teacher who
prepared her for entering the university.

She passed
the exam and entered  Kyiv State
Institute of Decorative Arts and Design. M. Boychuk.

“I tried to
use these 4 years of study to make up for the lost, as all I did as a school
child is learned all the school subjects perfectly. Also, I had a part time job
after university to pay for piano classes, as I`m still in love with this
instrument and many of my paintings are inspired by piano melodies”.

Lisa
confess, that she stopped doing one thing that wouldn’t let her enjoy her life
fully. She stopped being perfect in everything.

“That
helped me to make my art as you can see it now. It`s an art of imperfection, I
mainly use abstract shapes and figures, avoid academism and never ever create
my works without piano sounds on the background. Actually, all of my black and
white artworks are the piano melodies, which I put on canvas in the way I imagine
them, the more shades the paintings have, the more complicated and ear caching
song is.”

 Lisa moved to Kharkiv when she was 22 and made
several successful exhibitions there, and caught the attention of art lovers.
“I understand that the paintings I create and sell will most likely hang in
someone`s home or office. And I enjoy this feeling that people will have not
just a painting on their wall, but a melody, a melody, which is like a sunlight
reflected through the prism, reflected through my personal emotions and set on
canvas”.
