Painting
Irma Soltonovich
“To me, the act of painting encompasses all of who I am. Using the simplest of line and shape, the subtlest shift of colour, my goal is to evoke an emotion, a feeling, a memory… initially, for me in the doing, and then again and again for the viewer. I paint what I need to paint and am delighted when someone connects to it and it changes their landscape. Landscapes and seascapes continue to inspire my art making; the horizon line of both offer me comfort and grounding as well as a sense of belonging. I continue to see the landscape as the root to the emotion. I paint not only what I see before me, but also what I see within me – a landscape of the imagination.”
