Duomo Di Milano II

by Henrieta Maneva

“‘Art is selective re-creation of reality’ Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead. The best way of expressing yourself, your inner I, your thoughts, your beliefs, your values, your worries, your feelings, your hopes, your fears, your love, your hate, your soul, your everything is with art. Any kind, any form of art, just find the one that best matches you. I adore painting, especially with watercolor and ink (sepia). In particular, I enjoy the process of my mini-re-creation, which for me is actually more a discovery, because watercolor is something relatively new to me. I admire the delicacy, the ethereality and the transparency of aquarelle. I look at a watercolor painting as a breathing, mystical creature that wants to be discovered. I love architecture, especially Gothic style and I paint mostly cathedrals and churches with watercolors and ink. I admire the human genius, soul, and patience. For me, painting architecture in watercolor is the best way to combine my two passions.”
