Artist Statement for Iana Sophia
|
|
|
Please, visit me on my web page at: www.ianasophia.com
Thank you!
In my paintings I work towards a fusion of traditional and experimental as well as realistic and abstract approaches to creating an environment, where the familiar dissolves into landscapes of a physical or an emotional nature.
This summer I spent many pensive moments wandering around the extensive Plum Island marshes and beaches. The images have lingered in my mind. They shimmer in the ever changing light creating a language and imagery of of their own, speaking of boundless beauty and abundance. In my most recent paintings series I have expressed my desire to capture some of the radiant ocean mysticism these places convey.
Iana Sophia's art pulsates between the seen and envisioned, the figurative and abstract. Inspired by a mystical sensitivity and an appreciation of nature, these paintings draw the viewer into a place of contemplation, where the secrets of the work begin to unfold.
Iana Sophia is a painter in oil and watercolor, originally from the Czech Republic, she has been creating and showing her work in small, independent local venues in the Boston Metro area. Previously Iana worked in Prague, Vienna, Salzburg and Zurich; she received her masters degree in from the Universitaet Wien, in Vienna, Austria.
She specializes in oils, but is also experimenting with other media, such as oil based mono-prints, as well as digital post-production of original oil paintings.
The work shown on the web page is taken from the cycles "Ethereal Landscapes", "Atmospheres" "Sehnsucht" and "Villages" created between 2002 and 2010
The morst recent work, titled "Plum Island Marshes" was created in 2009/10. The source of inspiration was the pristine beauty of the coastal area around "Plum Island", a nature reseve, located about 50 miles north of Boston.
