Alice Black in the wonder world Painting

Based in Marten, Bulgaria, self-taught paint artist Desislava Koleva is inspired by natural and urban landscapes, the ongoing struggle, yet also harmonious coexistence between nature and manmade environments. She is an abstract painter—color is at the heart of her work. She manipulates color understanding how each hue reacts to another to reach an impact in the senses. For the artist, movement is a way of controlling rhythm and in turn balance and force. Movement can be at the source of the paintings structure, before the process begins, or may take hold as the painting forms. Desislava attempts to evoke the sensation of the sublime, “I paint what I cannot see, I paint speed, I paint Rhythm, I paint Time, I paint Gravity, I paint Movement, I paint the immaterial not the material.”
