The artist works in the direction of avant-garde art - she is a fan of non-figurative painting, which claims a free artistic search. Her works are characterized by associatively symbolic forms, expression, subtle, tonal and color transitions, a certain rich color, in which the internal tension is felt.

It is difficult to disagree with the opinion of the well-known and respected in art circles doctor of art history, full member of the Academy of Arts of Ukraine, Professor Oleksandr Fedoruk: “Oksana's works border on the tradition of non-figurative painting. Her picturesque and colorful improvisations are colorfully secret, full of color architecture. They are like a reflection of instantaneous experiences, an attempt to embody the absolute effectiveness of motion and matter. They have tangible motives of the prototypes of Ukrainian culture. "
The exhibition "Color Improvisations" presents works from the stock collection of the Museum of Arts, which reveal the individual creative handwriting of the artist Oksana Zhuravel - "Earth" (1997), "Cockroach" (2000), "Movement" (2002).
