Lana Okiro ‘Sunny Day in Whitehall’ Original

£995 (estimate includes ARR, finders fee & taxes)

Framed original

A quintessentially London scene, Lana Okiro captures the iconic imagery of the capital that is brought to life by loose and impressionistic brushstrokes. The subdued but vibrant colour palette illustrates the calm bustle of this famous street as we can almost hear the traffic. The street is lively with everyday activity, featuring the two double decker buses, red phone booth and in an catching composition we see Big Ben sitting proudly in the background.

Elegantly framed so as to evoke this nostalgia of a pleasant day in the city, the painting contains a harmony and tranquility that contradicts the chaos of commuter life. It is a timeless scene and a charming addition to any space that seeks to evoke the essence of London.

Lana Okiro is one of the most exciting still-life artists currently working in the UK. Over the years, she has developed a distinctive style influenced by the masters she admires, including Paul Cézanne and Claude Monet. Favouring oil on canvas, Lana’s contemporary interpretations feature bold strokes and vibrant colours, creating vivid works infused with a surprising subtlety.

When viewed up close, Lana’s paintings reveal a rich, layered application of paint. This textured approach transforms into beautiful, realistic images when seen from a distance. Her delicate use of colour and evocative shading are expertly arranged to capture the essence of nature with both accuracy and style. By employing a palette knife, Lana ensures that each stroke is crisply defined, lending a striking clarity to her finished pieces.

Born in the picturesque countryside of Western Ukraine, Lana grew up on a farm, nurturing a deep love for animals, the outdoors, and the natural world’s extraordinary beauty. Her passion for art began early, as she spent her childhood drawing and copying illustrations. She went on to study Artistic Design and Education, continuously refining her skills through self-training and practice. Her career has spanned teaching art and working in Interior Design.
