Bulgarian artist's work on show

Her paintings are inspired by natural forces such as mists, rainstorms, sunsets, thunder and occasionally mythology. The actual process of making each painting is one that can never be repeated.
Minna Georgieva a 23 year old Bulgarian graduate of fine arts at the Chelsea College of Arts and Design plays with colours using an approach of applying the paint with some of her own chemically created formulas so that the feeling of depth is allowed to appear gradually.
Her paintings are currently on display at the Kuwait society for Formative Arts and open for public viewing until May 20.
Georgieva’s abstract paintings portray a year’s work of abstract expressionism and a colour painting by Georgieva titled ‘Subject matter vs. Object Matter’ “allows abstract language to open a bigger space for the imagination to make it whatever the individual mind wants it to be.”
Her depiction of Yellow Mist and Blue mist sees the use of soft toned coloured fields painted in a loose manner of shades of blue and yellow, their tones and values adjusted to each other and tuned to the ground on which they float.
Georgieva has enjoyed the consent of an international audience for abstract art to explore her ambitious vision of abstraction. On display at the Bulgarian embassy in London, her work goes on display at an Exhibition in Mayfair, London.
