Catherine Tomova Artist

”I am drawn to and fascinated by space; actually by the inter-spaces of which a painting is structured. It is space and not the line or color that form an image. Space is what reveals the innate, hidden story in every painting. I have to find it, to discover what’s lurking behind the whiteness of a pristine canvas. Therefore, to be an artist is an open-ended experience. It is something with no beginning and no end; something that is just happening, subconsciously, instinctively, as a rush of emotions, as an electric flow of deconstructed images down my nervous system, able to rearrange and reshape without my will or control. That is why when I work I get inspired by music; it helps me stop thinking and start feeling. My most recent exhibition project concentrates around nonfigurative imagery. I am trying to delve into the mental spaces that require a special state of mind; to see those as a revelation and to make them visible.”
