Iva Gueorguieva delves into the interplay of the tangible and the fantastical in her latest series, 'Chimera 1 - 24'. Through this collection of 24 works, she explores realms and characters, where reality merges with the intangible and where form dwells in the liminal. The series echoes the composite essence of the Greek mythological chimera, a hybrid fire-breathing being. Gueorguieva's drawing practice is essential and central to her painting and this group of drawings has informed many of her recent paintings Seascapes/Snowscapes/Kukeri.
"My drawings are out of my control. They come with such strength but then they will disappear just as quickly. I can never force it." IvaG.
