Angela Terzieva

I like the freedom of oil technique and the expressive approach to the process of transformation. That's the reason to express myself by means of painting.
The main provocateur of ideas for me are the constantly changing urban environment and people, with their erratic appearance. Much of the visible world around us is the trace, that one leaves behind. My aspirations in art are related to the capture of this trail that becomes the soul of objects or a sideline gap, bringing its independence. The constant conflict between the environment and individuals raises deepening perceptions, and everyday life is often associated with the gray and boredom, but it's precisely what catalyzes the energy of the day and life. The look at people's faces rouses my curiousity most of all, each one monitoring life by its own tower, taken personal care and passion as the only road guide. The eyes are staring blindly into one-self, and the mask, literally and figuratively, transforms in a way of life that has been imposed to us and without which no longer can do.
