Artworks by Lola Jovan

Welcome to the land of the ineffable, where a solitary artist works like a mad scientist to make art and channel emotion (a place, a mood, a person, a thin strand of thought), to interpret it in such a way to reach through the painting to inside of you, the viewer.

I'm creating filaments of connection, interwoven emotions, common experiences, magnifying glasses and telescopes, tin cans on strings, ears against the wall, eyes against the peephole.

There are hits and misses, epiphanies and utter failures. When a painting reaches into you and grabs something in your heart, your memories, your hopes or fears and causes a slight tremor - it is then a sublime success.

Those successes, those moment of connection and seeing, send me scurrying back to the paint to begin again, like a busy spider, weaving, tearing down, reweaving.
