Adriana Poterash

My paintings reflect the perception of human experience.
Through subtle symbolism that is trying to evoke a new level of understanding, thinking, and visual appreciation.
Through experimentation with variety of interdisciplinary techniques and materials, I am continuously evolving my artwork to a new level of innovation and contemporary approach.
Always wandering with my camera around cities and forests, / collect images of daily objects, random people, scenes of nature, and street events to fuse them into a surreal world of uncommon alliances.
Although the compiled images are figurative, their setting and presentation is strongly conceptual. A sort of 'conceptual figuratism' where space warps, time looses its chronology, images collapse, perspectives get distorted and the surfaces tear. and the deterioration reveals more layers of hidden images underneath.
All these elements are reabsorbed into cohesive new structures and unexpected unions - a surreal vision inviting a viewer to relate and to give a personal interpretation.
The elements of randomness, accidents, roughness that happens during this process are welcomed, as they partially remove complete control over the work of ego, and this gives my work a chance to create itself, to get its own life.
