Eva G. Mihovich

Artist Statement

Breath, Brush, Sumi-E

As a Western practitioner of the ancient Asian art of Sumi-E (literal translation, ink painting), my work reflects a fusion of two aesthetic traditions. The art of Asian Brush painting is one of economy of brush stroke, stuble nuances of shadings and emphasis upion capturing the "essence" of a subject rather than its linear reality. In my work, this sensibility is tempered with a Western perspective on color theory, thoughtful use of linear detail and expressionism. Above all, both traditions are melded in the meditative stance that I actively utilize in my creative process, drawing upon both mindfulness and Zen meditation to enhance the emotion and spirituality of my work.

Carol Itzkowitz Neiman

Artist Statement

The journey for an artist can take many different roads. For some it is the exploration of a specific medium, for others a specific theme.

My journey has been both. There have been many reasons for my explorations; however the two most fundemental are: circumstance and the undying belief that as with any subject a person has a passion for, learning is and must be continuous throughout their lives.

Painting is meditation-
it is a way to achieve a closeness to the universe-
a means of enlightenment.
