Varda Caivano
June 2nd, 2007 — July 7th, 2007
Painting for me is a way of questioning images, where visible objects with a secret depth appear to reveal a kind of irrational truth. The paintings operate as a bridge, a transitional space that evokes an inner world.
Varda Caivano
Varda Caivano’s paintings remind of a tropical modernism, but also of English landscape painting and still lifes of the thirties and fourties. They are subtle picture suggestions on whose surface the forms remain at the threshold to certainty and trust completely on their position, that manifest itself near up to the border of becoming objective.
For Caivano painting provides the contact with an inner world that is located on the edge of consciousness and touches the secret of subjectivity itself.
Caivano’s works are expressions of an uncompromising, however very personal conception of abstract painting. Her paintings search for the art-historical discourse as well as for artistic considerations for the unique perception of colour, space, textur, volume and light.
