Pavlina Alea

“I create original acrylic and oil paintings on canvas, using a representational technique. Life is too beautiful and deep to be captured in an artwork. I do however, recreate certain moments of life that I perceive to be of utmost beauty. These are glimpses of bliss that I would like to freeze in time. I am fascinated by the unusual relationships between mundane objects in a stilllife, the optic distortions caused by water and ice and the open and beautifully desolate landscapes. As for the human figure; I explore the presence of man in the context of nature. I use color schemes that are subtle and vibrant simultaneously. I would describe my artistic style as a modernist realism with emphasis on visual communication. An artist’s mind is sensitive and curious to the changes of her environment and expresses these changes accordingly. We are not unique, in spite of what we have been taught. Our skills, thoughts, ideas, and experiences have been recycled through generations of humanity. Thus, I see art as a lifelong journey and an exhilarating mode of expression.”
