Talya's works of art have a life of their own. Talya the painter, like a master chef, uses endless measures of color in her masterpieces. The canvas is an active field of happenings and not only a surface to work on. One feels when encountering her paintings that there is life renewing itself perpetually.
To create these 'awakenings" Talya uses chaos and dissonance, colors washed and scraped, layered and covered and layered again heavily, to build an effect of renewed presence, movement perpetually changing, in an eternal abstraction of energy. The only constant directive in her works is her appreciation of the canvas as a vehicle to express her fascination to the essence of natural phenomenon.
Talya struggles to “let it flow” freely, not to be confined by the static formality of painting and offers the viewer an illusion of constant movement, often obscuring - transforming a concrete image to an illusive one, a singular and closed image to one of universal and open impact.
Her works are distinctive in contours and highlighted lines of emphasis, broken lines of movement, segments of imprints remembered, erased, blurred, softened and merged with new lines. Drops of paint, like raindrops, stains, drippings often lost in the background, often like a set design, wherein the subject of the painting is being experienced. The drops of paint and the painted areas of color washing the canvas, undulating under the gold and silver are at times a post modern statement, where space is filled and redefined or blocked by elements almost futuristic, often innocent and simple in description, often images pulled from Talya's visual memory bank and inner most self.
Talya has chosen a universal language, which demands foremost a commitment to her inner voice and integrity in the use of the varied artistic tools, allowing her unique self-expression to define her style in a personal language unhindered by place or time. Talya seeks to renew and her paintings filled with endless layers of colors thrown and dripped, challenge the viewer to discover the encoded rather than offer a definitive statement.
Talya's paintings are personal, abstract and invite the viewer to join them - the more we observe the more illusive they become, defying the banal. They refuse to become mundane, giving them strength and the elusiveness of human experience. Talya closes cycles, and spirals the viewer in a sea of experiences true to modern abstract masters, seeking out her own lexicon alive on her canvases.
Talya has exhibited in one woman and group shows in Israel and internationally. Here she is showing new works and works from earlier periods.
