Amanda Kralovic - www.amandakralovic.com Artist Statement: My work is a reflection of what I see within this world and how my mind transforms it. Through the struggles of life, I learn and grow by translating this process onto paper. Translating my physical and mental emotions, I extract shapes, patterns and colors as visual metaphors. Expressing my physical and mental struggles through the use of natural formations and physical elements I work with layers. I work to create a language of communication through the use of physical and visual objects as they relate to the physical body and the emotional process of my mind’s thoughts and development. Each layer is defined with a color, using shapes and patterns to form each layer. The final image only reveals itself when all the layers have been laid down, causing a feeling of emotional and physical accomplishment, just like at the finish of a race or practice. As the layers come together they form imperfections, creating gaps, spaces and jagged edges that represent the realities of life. Living in a world where nothing is perfect I struggle to hold myself together layer by layer. Through this analytical process of breaking the image down into layers and color, I pull not only the image together but also myself. Life consists of constant change and movement, both physically and mentally. A world without emotions would be dull; we survive because we have feelings and we seek to express them. As I continue to develop my work, I hope to further express my thoughts and emotions through the vision of combining the natural and the surreal bringing my work to new levels of understanding.
