Based on my thesis, each painting is the purest part of my soul and peace of my heart. bleu.turquoise007@gmail.com Bleu, Bachelor of Arts, presents us her paintings which contain two histories and two evolution processes without which it is hard to understand her work. Inside the first process we recognize the heritage of the author's evolution path in painting which was at the beginning marked especially by the mimetic painting. Inside the mimetic painting we recognize and evaluate the images on the basis of their similarity to the sensual world in which we live. Even though it may seem just the opposite, the author has never left this world. Actually, she upgraded it in a way that preserves the authentic elements, but at the same time surpasses them with the emphasis on the invisible inner experience of the same world. This way her paintings are not just a window into an apparent space, which is hidden behind the canvas or which disguises the existence of the canvas, but we enter through the surface whatever exists behind the paintings. In a way they return the look, direct it at the viewer and ask him or her demanding questions: what do I see; is this a painting; what is a painting? We confront these questions also on the level of the second process, another history which actually precedes the first one. What is also significant for the evolution path of painting is that it mostly hovered within impression, at least within the European culture. For that purpose a new method was developed during the era of Renaissance - perspective. It enables us to approach what our eyes see as close as possible. Its influence on the painting and our perception of how through an image we see and experience the world was so great that it still strongly denotes our understanding of a painting. Abstract paintings are in that way always a deviation from this established view and the work is definitely a part of the deviation. It belongs to a tradition which consciously decided to see the world and paintings differently. In some sense these are the paintings which have saved and are saving the art of painting. With the new phenomenon of photography, it turned out that the painting cannot compete with it when it comes to the impression of reality. It can survive only by taking its own path. This path is nowadays known as Modernism which started with Impressionism in the second half of the 19th century.
