SALSA 1 Painting

Alexandra Lazovski, plastic artist, figurative, expressionist painter. Uruguayan born, lives and works in Israel. The challenge of creating "spot and line" intuitive works on canvas using oil or acrylic and a "one charcoal line" is part of an evolution from my "Formal Figurative" style of expression to a more spontaneous style; reflective of my state of mind art form. I was inspired by Raoul Duffy, German Art Movement "Die Bruke" and influenced by my Graphic Design background. The vibrant colors palette (reminiscent of the my Latin American mother country) together with a sensitive, black single line, reflect the need of a more dynamic, energetic and full of movement freedom of expression I strive to. The figures and landscapes are conceived from memory, out of a process of creative work, where conscious thoughts flow smoothly in a dialog between the subjective inner feelings to the so called objective outer forms. The challenge of placing less importance on the accurate representation of objects and celebrating instead the spontaneous personal expression and the act of painting itself! It's a balance of freedom and restrain - "to let what needs to happen-happen"
