KUWAIT: Bulgarian native and London resident Minna Georgieva is a cosmopolitan at heart, who finds inspiration for her art in every feeling, rainstorm, film of mist or rattle of thunder. “My paintings have no ethnicity and do not follow a certain school of landscape,” she says, and readily agrees that while Bulgaria is her home the Middle East ha s definitely found its place in her paintings. However, nature takes lead as a source of perpetual inspiration.
Minna Georgieva opened her Ambient Contemporary Paintings Solo exhibition in the Ahmed Al-Adwani Gallery at the Abdulah Al-Salem National Gallery in Kuwait on 26 March. Guests were immediately impressed by the colour of the work, which was vibrant yet ethereal revealing its inspiration by nature and unusual manifestations of natural forces such as mists, rainstorms, sunsets, thunder, and occasionally by photography. The making and subsequent use of special colour is a result of a formula which was invented by Minna who builds her paintings with many layers of thin colour to the required depth to achieve the feeling of air.
