Olivera will present her new work (14th solo exhibition) that includes a detail work of landscapes, fruits, flowers always with her own style and colors. She also participated in many group exhibitions in Cyprus and abroad.

Some of the reviews of her work:
“…Olivera’s paintings are beautiful evocations of nature in all its glory. Plants, flowers, fruits painted with a wonderful feeling for natural beauty.
There is detail but the detail never spoils the natural flow and rhythm of nature.
Her landscapes enfold warmth of nature and homes while her color is exceptional.
The beauty of nature is caught in splendid abundance uplifting the viewer into most positive splendours.”
Glyn Hughes, Art Critic
Cyprus, The Cyprus Weekly, 2008

“Olivera Smiljkovic proposes a new poetics of still lifes and landscapes, which she transcribes, with oil on canvas, in the unrestained, blissful spontaneity of fairy-tale naivete, grafted with a classical touch of harmony and rhythm, that produces a distinct painterly idiom.
Her compositions are an invitation to a novel view of nature and a tribute of thanksgiving to Mother Earth, for the invaluable gifts of fecundity, portrayed in an endless array of crops, plants and flowers…
…Thought a meticulous study and a close observation, she evokes countess details of the natural world, employing several kinds of brushstroke to render the specificity and uniqueness of each of its constituent parts…
…A fascinating engendering of volumes, in an expanse of vineyards and plains in full bloom, imparts space with a sublime infinity and a transcendental ambience, creating an idyllic universe of euphoria and contemplative serenity, devoid of human presence and mundane harshness.”
Dr. Nadia Anaxagorou
Director of the Cultural Services, Municipality of Limassol, 2008
