Transcendence Oil Painting Painting

Ana Costov is an abstract artist. Her work is distinguished for her technique of applying paint in spiraling movements. The pictorial field encounters dynamic brushstrokes and lines with clean blocks of color and vibrant accents that create emphases. “The world seen from above” is the first series of paintings from 2017 with the works: «Abyss”, “Mental map”, “Earth”, “Send it on”. This series speaks about nature, earth patterns, the sky - the beginnings. The paint traces are loose and free, the colors are in perfect balance. “Rhapsody” - a trilogy of works vibrating in one frequency, each of the compositions being distinct through its own musicality. The application of paint is dense and the space is rich in intensity. “Purple Meadows”, “Blast”, “Transcendence”, “Four Winds”, “Birds above fields”- represent a series that explores different states of mental being. The configuration of lines and color fields follow the inner rhythm that creates a distinct atmosphere within the canvas. The most recent works, such as “Shoreline Sands”, “Trip”, “In the sky”, “Echoes” become an exploration of the world from within the self. The dynamic brushstrokes alternate with clean fields of color that often take the course of abstract geometry. A communication between the inner self and God, all these works has a spiritual character. In the process, one idea that the artist’s journey comes to is: “As in heaven, so on earth”. What is inside, that is outside.
