Vania Dudolenska

Abstractionism, with a material component and a muted palette, these are the key words to describe Vania Dudolenska's art. The forms are undefined and leave room for the expression of colour, movement and matter. This particular characteristic gives voice to the artist's feelings, which in Vania's case are peaceful, harmonious and positive. The will to control her instincts through reason leads the artist to probe the innermost depths of human nature through painting. Vania's is a search for authenticity in the irrational, intended as a way out of distrust of rationality that fails to fully describe the artist's deepest feelings. Only movement, the physical relationship with the canvas allows the artist to give vent to her soul. Instead of the repertoire of formal tools of traditional art, entities that were previously only present in an accidental way take full possession of the painting: patches of colour, wefts of marks, hanks, tangles, clots of pictorial matter. The emblem of this painting is the stain: stain as a pictorial element without defined form, random, yet dense with expressive and evocative power. These 'marks' are to be understood as symbols that refer to things or ideas, they are already an abstract way of representing reality. To understand Vania's art, we have her thoughts expressed for each of the works presented: Hug "is the pleasant and welcoming place where one feels loved and appreciated. It is especially when you share this experience with your loved ones that you feel extremely blessed". Harmony, "is a playful canvas, showing a more spontaneous process, when you take your favourite light colours and let your imagination do the rest. It expresses the happiness and freedom one can feel". In Paradise 'you can feel the water, you can feel the sand, you can see the pink sunrise'.
