Mara Viksnins Artist Statement- 2013
One of the most enigmatic aspects of the creative process is the question of where do images come from? Do they come from an experience or from the unconscious mind? How does the artist interpret these new visual worlds?
Mara Viksnins is ultimately obsessed with the figure. "No matter how I start a painting, whether it be with just random brush strokes and colors or with a more realistic intent, a figure appears! I love to portray the female figure, sometimes in a mystical setting, sometimes as a nurturer or mother nature or just as an ordinary
human being."
