Tsvetelina Spiridonova

Artist Statement;

I believe that everyone have mission on this world. I know my mission is to be an artist and a good parent and I follow it. I love the emotional and spiritual part of the process to grab the inspiration before it goes, and to develop it. In printmaking you need to have great patient ,if you don’t have it you learn to be patient. I past through all that and now I developed my own techniques with the traditional printmaking process to the monotype- combining with dry point needles ,etchings ,embossment mezzotint and etc. I have been so curious about the result ,it always surprises me! Sometimes my monotypes look like oil paintings. I love the sophistication of colors. It is such a magic to work with different layers the color getting richer and richer.
