Ekaterina popova's series titled "in the bedroom" captures the light subtleties and feelings of romantic contentment. Artist statement - ekaterina popova for the past few years, i have been exploring interiors in my work. The interest started as a way for me to reflect on my upbringing in russia, but eventually progressed to exploring the overall idea of “home” and what it means me now. The work has slowly evolved from being reflective and sentimental to being mindful and present in my current environment. I repeatedly paint my own bedroom, visit other people’s houses, and use reference photos submitted to me by others online. My paintings include messy rooms, intimate items, and objects that refer to human presence without including the figure. I pick up on the subtle tones, lighting, and mood of each location in order to capture the emotion i associate with the space and then exaggerate the color to create a dream-like image. Ekaterina popova was born in vladimir, russia. After moving to the united states, she fell in love with painting and received a bfa from kutztown university of pennsylvania. Her work has been exhibited nationally, including the painting center in new york, art miami fairs, the trenton city museum, delaware contemporary, uforge gallery, the painted bride center, the boxheart gallery, a.i.r. Gallery and more.
