Abstract
The article elucidates the creative evolution of the Moldavian painter Olga Orlova, whose art is based on the principles of realism, but allowing also color expression. The research material is the artist’s numerous paintings from the 1950s to the present, which were first introduced into a wide, international art history circulation. The author analyzes the dynamics of themes and motives, compositional features, color of paintings, noting their tonality, decorativeness and harmony. As a result of the study, it is determined that, with all the variety of tasks, Olga Orlova is true to the traditions that have become close to her since the 1960s. It is her interest for manifestation of the human essence and for the world of nature, as well as the laconism of the plastic language and the emotional content of color.
