Georgian Corn Fields, Bakhvi, Georgia Painting

Medea is originally from Bulgaria and Georgia. She received her artistic education in the „National Art Academy“ (Sofia, BG)” as well as Worldwide thanks to the numerous international education and exchange programs, art residencies and art events she participated in and was awarded with. In 2016 she defended a doctorate on “The Role Of Colour In Textile Art. Authors (1960 / 2010)”. Since 2020 Medea is permanently based in London and is full time fine and multidisciplinary visual and 3D artist. Although the dozen techniques, mediums and art fields Medea has been practicing in through all her university art career, she always had special place for drawing and painting, and through the last seven years since Medea decided to move away from the Art University, she focused mainly on live sketching and painting and she developed a unique style of depicting. She calls her artworks on paper- sketches, while most are finished artworks. Her sketches still also are prototypes for her canvases. She believes that the most genuine way to capture the energy, motion and mood of the particular moment is through the initial drawing at the time and place of creation. This is the cleanest an quickest way of an idea and feeling to be brought into the material world. Medea experiments with different techniques and materials, so she can keep challenging her drawing and painting, as well as, her and her viewers visual perception. She understands her artworks as an abstract rhythm of shapes, lines, brushstrokes, patterns and colours , while the viewers of her works recognise places or themselves, if relevant. Through the live sketching and painting she is searching to depict the abstract rhythms and energy of life, anything that triggers her vision of that special abstract and sometimes surreal rhythm.
