Description
Dodo’s works remind people of the magical space and other elements of our planet. These pieces came as she was looking at recent photos taken of the space with stars, meteorites, planets and comparing them with close-up photos of plants and earthly elements. The paintings are like close-ups, mini universes, that we capture either of the space or of such minuscule elements as the leaves, minerals, a stone. They are mini universes in themselves, sort of windows to another world that is however connected to ours. This is why she chose the round format for her paintings. The material is flowing and soluble with water, as it is acrylic, pigments and ink. The colors are somewhat ethereal, as they change with the light, bringing movement into them, as the light and shadows change during the day.
