Winter vineyards. (2022) Original Watercolour by Galina Poloz

Watercolor from the series “Native Places”, which depicts a typical Balkan landscape with rows of vineyards and hills on the horizon. The painting was done in watercolors on thick (300g) Canson watercolor paper.
I want to see space in paintings - voids that have a symbolic function and an aesthetic texture, a tension. I paint dense spaces filled with vibrating air masses, with light. But the painting itself is a laconic form of a graphic trace, as if suddenly appearing in the void, floating smoothly in the timelessness. Such a trace is unfolded in a restrained scale, it dissolves the image, immersing it in a meditative environment.

Space in my works is a metaphor for temporality. It creates painting as an immersive environment in which we can immerse ourselves and which offers us an abstract, peaceful view of time. We see the multitude of ideals and truths that inhabit and have inhabited this world. And we see how we intuitively seek to free ourselves from them.
