CARMENPOPOVICI

he paintings I create are explorations of my view on the world void of representation, creating a sense of freedom but also discord in the non-representational. My work depicts landscapes being translated into abstract organic forms with mark making. A balance between chaos and control is illuminated in my work. Layer upon layer, conveying moods and emotions that I process through my current insecurities, struggles, and achievements. Directly taking the real world and portraying my own perspective, working with color relationships, and more examination of my perception of value is what interests me As a plus size woman, my viewpoint is unique hence my art will always exhibit that through the choices made, what I choose to create and continue to show With abstract painting being historically more male dominated, I am able to bring a different view on painting the world As I grasp for freedom or perhaps celebrate it, I bring forward the spontaneous controlled chaos that is my work
