About this artwork
This painting is done with watercolor on rice paper. The technique I used to create this piece is known as automatic drawing invented by the Surrealist painters. The artist takes a drawing pencil and attempts a drawing by closing the eyes and clearing the mind of any thoughts or images. The idea is that forms will emerge from the unconscious mind. This painting is the result of my efforts in this technique.

« I am constantly intrigued by the endless variety of compositional structures and evocative arrangements of shapes, lines, and colors that offer new visual experiences. »
Ethel Vrana is an experienced abstract painter in the United States whose work has been exhibited regionally in both solo and group shows. Vrana has been painting ever since her mother gave her a professional set of oil paints for her 14th birthday, eventually going on to become an art teacher and continuing her practice. Her impressionistic landscapes have evolved into her current style of abstract painting, inspired by the fundamental forms of nature and the relationship between shapes and color. Vrana creates spontaneously using experimental techniques such as acrylic collage, layer painting, and transparent inks.
