Her works that I viewed are visually compelling, they are pleasing images.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Lolita, her paintings are fun to look at and use wonderful warm and rich colors, very pleasing to the eyes.
DeleteI really like her work. There just seems like so much going on with each piece, and there is so much movement. At first glance they can seem a little chaotic but after a closer look you can see how clean the work is. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteIva's work is beautiful and at times even appears so full of life that it could be described as turbulent. The influence of the Italian Futurists is evident in her work, but in a very modern way. Her work speaks volumes of her history and life, as she and her family had to leave their formerly successful and safe lives in Bulgaria in order to find a better life elsewhere. I am excited to see more of her work!
