Elga Grinvalde “Gold Strings”. 2022. 30 x 24 cm Oil on canvas. Small, charming pearls from painter Elga Grinvalde. The power of Grinvalde's artistic expression is hardly surprising. Instead of being astonished one should surrender to it, because much like the frescoes of Florentine churches her paintings draw the viewer into the brimming "void" of her art, which is not physical or spatial phenomenon, but a thought turned matter, rich in cultural experiences and dense with layers of emotion. This reasoning is supported by a Lyrical and abstract message and its material form that the artist grows layer by layer, on a repeatedly glazed surface. Artist prefer the oils and accessories such as broad brushes and spatulas produced by Italian company Maimeri, which use to apply several layers of paint and achieve translucent coatings. She also use oil paints with a metallic sheen.
