They give an idea of range of possibilities and direction of creative searches of artist. Antipova gravitated to expression of her individual attitude in themes, not applying on the exhaustive scope of the phenomenas of the life.

A Midday. 1982

In 1960th Antipova tries itself in the series of portraits. Most considerable it is been «A Girl from Pereslavl» and «Waitress» (both 1964). From the end of 1960th leading genres in creation of Antipova were still life in an interior and exterior, and also landscape. The prevailing style of painting is distinguished by several conventional drawing and composition, the interest for the transmission of color and light and air. Among the most known works of this period «City courtyard in Gavan»[13], «Sonth Still life»[14], «Grape Arbor»[15], «Romantic landscape»[16], «A Window. Nasturtiums» (all 1968), «Olives-trees»[17] (1969), «Tulips on a window»[18] (1970), «Pine-trees», «On the Vasilievskiy island»[19] (both 1973), «Still life in the garden.

In the still lifes, Antipova increasingly prefer the open composition, placing a table with a bouquet of flowers, or a book in a corner of the garden, among the branches of a blossoming apple or cherry. Her best works of this genre - «A Midday» (1982), «Still Life. Flowering willow, Calla lilies, Daffodils»[24] (1984) - are seen as images of the perfect world in which man finds harmony with nature and in his soul. This is the main theme of her art she continued until her death.
