ARTIST PORTOLIO
FEATURED ARTWORK
In these paintings I often use theatrical lighting even though I rarely define the stage. Painting with a knife, I use colour rather than line to create three-dimensional spaces and a sense of movement and light.
A symbolic group of Paola Minekov’s paintings based on various human experiences and emotions is named after this particular artwork. “Undercurrents” explores the invisible, but detectable energies, both positive and negative, that constantly flow between two people in a relationship.
When I paint the cities I’ve lived in and visited, I do so from memory and a few rather vague sketches. I’m not looking for realism but for that special feeling which inspires me to return to a place, in my mind, again and again. I let my impressions of the streets, buildings and nature take over and turn into abstractions until the picture I see when I close my eyes is clear and distinctly mine.
Then I transfer it to the canvas.
