This art series emerged from the artist’s desire to combine the vibrant beauty, sexuality, celebrity and

magnetic power of the most beautiful women of the 20th century and the most desirable men, actors,

musicians, artists and politicians with the same vibrant and assertive power of colors.

 

The artist goal is to combine two very different concepts and to find harmony among them. Concrete and abstract, figurative and linear. In order to discover in the combination of these two concepts the hidden essence of those people, who are looking right at us through multi-colored lines. And at the same time, we don’t look at them directly, openly, but through the lines. The artist creates the dialog between the portrait, the viewer, the dynamic of the lines and combinations of the colors. 

 

The images of specific people and lines are two equal participants in this “play”, they are connected by a single idea and a single harmony. The artist lets the viewer decide "who" or "what" is the main character of the artwork - the person or the lines. For one, this is the image of their favorite actor, for another – just color lines, for a third - a color scheme, and for someone all together as a single image. In this, the artist sees her main task - to have the viewer fill the picture with meaning and thus complete, and finish it.

 

The colors of the lines were not chosen spontaneously, they are a representation of the presented character. The artist carefully selects the color scheme for each portrait. Of course, her choice is subjective, but the artist's goal in this process is to create the perfect harmony of character and color, to create a certain mood in the viewer when looking at the painting, to evoke emotions and associations.

 

For the artist, the main character of the paintings is not the image of a celebrity, but the color. Color and its combinations that create mood, evoke and enhance the feelings we experience in relation to famous people. And as a result, color creates an image. An image looking at us from behind the lines….
