Artworks by Alenka Koderman

The painting is for me an expression through colour which I use as a main medium. What interests me the most about painting are different approaches and corresponding techniques but its true significance lies in the process itself, in the movement that begins with the installation of objects in the space and evolves through numerous phases/stages of upgrade. In the process of painting I am aware of having to share my work with someone else- a spectator. That’s why I’m also interested in the optical system and giving a spectator the opportunity to be a part of the process. I can say that light and reflexion are present in all my works from different cycles like Forest (1996-2001), Reflexion (1997-2006), Grass (2002-2006), Flowers (from 2006 onward), Sea and Waves (2007-2010), Figures (from 2010 onward) as a cohesive thread.

Since 2010 I have been focusing mostly on figural art. At first I started with series of sketches different thematic, paintings on canvas are still in progress. Through years 2010-2014 I have primarily created sketches of figural motifs which with time grouped into different cycles (Cycle Two, Cycle Figures, Cycle Dialogues etc.).
